Does anyone have any information on how many Cessna 182s were produced by model? My Google skills are letting me down on this one, as I get conflicting information. Probably a bridge too far, but I’d anyone know how many of each model are still flying, that would be awesome, too.

I see all kinds of advice on how to lean for takeoff at high density altitude (in this case 7,000+ feet). My question is do you adjust the mixture when starting the engine? It seems that if you left the mixture full rich, it would be too rich to support combustion. Any tips for High DA engine...

http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2021/05/cessna-182h-skylane-fatal-accident.html https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/261791 It happened on Monday of this week, but I’ve heard almost nothing about it.

I’m new to having a glass panel and know precious little about avionics and electrical systems, so this may be an obvious question, but how do you supply power to a glass panel (so that you can install database updates, configure screens, etc.) with the engine off? Can you just put a trickle...

Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered, but can anyone tell me what the dashed cyan line is on the map view on the GTN750. It looks like it is some sort of indicator that will tell you how far you will be in a certain amount of time, but I can’t find any way to configure it. Any...

Anyone know right offhand how many Cessna 182’s are still in the fleet? I’d also be interested to know comparative numbers for other high performance singles if there is a ready source you can point me to. Thanks in advance.

Post on another forum made me wonder which XM subscription offers the most bang for the buck. What are you guys using? I’m using the mid-tier package called Pilot Preferred in SirusXM (or Aviator in XM speak—don’t know why they name them differently—it’s weird). Maybe this should be posted...

Anyone know the backstory of the name “Skylane?” I get names with some connection to flying like “Skyhawk.” But Skylane? I don’t get it.

Can someone tell me how to get rid of the preset airport/waypoint that Garmin has loaded on its GTN trainer? In the case if the GTNxi trainer I have, when you open flight plan, KSLE is loaded in there. I pull it up and hit remove and load my flight plan. Looks great on the flight plan page...

What do you guys use SkyVector for? Does it have a specific purpose if you subscribe to Foreflight or Garmin Pilot?

Does anyone here have any experience with the Airtugs brand of tugs? I saw one today and it looked to be well-designed and well-built. I have a short steep slope in front of my hangar and pushing the 182 is a two person job. Thought the Airtug NFE-4 would be a nice addition. Any reviews would...

Can someone tell me where to find the chart supplement on ForeFlight Web? In the iPad it is with each airport and listed on a line called that says AF/D with a link to the actual page of the chart supplant. I cannot find it on the web for the life of me. Thanks. (Admin—If this is posted on...

I just noticed while looking at new sectional chart (I know, I know--no one uses paper anymore) that many of the VORs that used to list the Flight Service frequencies just above the blue box no longer list them. Is this a recent change? There are still some that do, but many more that don't...

As the title says, has anyone here upgraded from the 55x to the 3100? I’ve seen threads devoted to whether to upgrade an older autopilot to a 55x or to a 3100, but none devoted to upgrading from a 55x to a 3100. For those who have done it, I’d be curious to hear your experience and...

Has anyone made this upgrade? If so, I’m curious to hear what you think.

Is there any compelling reason to upgrade from a G500 to a G500txi? I understand the larger screen, refresh rate and touch features, but I have also heard from at least one person who has flown extensively with both, that they favor the user interface of the G500. I would be interested to...

I have a question about superstition in GA. I am taking delivery of a plane later this year and will have the opportunity to designate the N-number. In searching the FAA database, I found an N-number that I liked and reserved it for $10 on the FAA’s website. All good. Later, for unknown some...
