I’ve read a few times here how the high power Cirrus/ Turbo 550’s will struggle the most w/o lead. But Cirrus says they are designed to be able to be turned down to a 7.5 to 1 compression and will be ready when the lead is gone? http://www.whycirrus.com/industry/future-avgas.aspx Quote...

not affiliated but flew around 50 hours with them maybe 5 years ago. Getting recurrent after 10 years, doing G1000 transition and then stayed on renting and having fun flying family around. Online scheduling was easy. But I never asked about a multi day rental. we bought a cirrus, but had I...

This is sad to read. Angel City (Diamond Dealer, flight school & rental) no good? Or DA40 too slow?

Last time I was at Van Nuys, there was a hotel there with some parking. Seems like would be a great place to hide from weather and grab a cup of joe. Don’t recall the hotel charging to park.

Super close, this....

Just ordered a first IWC. Not as fancy as some, an aqua timer as I recall.

Love LOVE that the airport I learned at is dead center in game board.

So... I’m 42 with a new Cirrus on order. Not retired, nor am I a fancy business owner with things like write offs or bonus depreciation. Just a W2 working stiff. I do ok, wish I was richer :) However, my approach has been to buy relatively inexpensive income properties to cover plane payment...

seriously? ER grads have been Thunderbirds, even astronauts. Crazy post. Just crazy.

w/o knowing the budget, I’d suggest flying into Marana and staying at the Ritz Dove Mountain (in middle of nowhere, great golf, hiking, etc) and also flying to Sedona and staying at Enchantment (also middle of nowhere, LOTS of hiking, right near an “energy vortex”...if you believe :)

Some people prob like it. I don’t. But every morning a few shots of espresso down the hatch. Clean energy, and apparently it’s good for you. Win/win. It’s more like a shot of vodka (for me). Done for medicinal purposes & desired side effects.

I think he means the airframe appreciates your staying ahead of it much more than many other planes. It is flown like an airliner. An example is, per Cirrus, if you aren’t stabilized by final... go around. No chop/drop, trying to save it, you got this, get er done, etc. I flew a Cessna...

Did you see any UFO’s?

I have questions... Aren’t vortac’s/vor’s being decommissioned little by little? And, is this the same gps that our phones use? For instance, I’m in the UK late August and would rely on my phone to navigate while driving. Are folks rushing out to buy old school maps? Or do phones have a...

Will you be copying down clearances w the Apple Pencil? If yes, mini is pretty small

Significant other’s who become scared of GA, second guessing oneself, pilots reluctant to get back in saddle, etc..

I’ve read a handful of first hand accts from CAPS users. It’s no picnic. Sounds like being in an office chair and being dropped from about 6 feet. Most needed a chiro, a few hurt their back, cracked a rib, etc. there are psych issues too, though that is prob true after every GA crash. Not...

Car tells us where chargers are. No driving around looking for anything. Even tells us how many super chargers are being used/vacant.

Of course you realize most Cirrus pilots learned in something else and moved up to Cirrus. We’ve tried your religion, now why don’t you try ours? I would set up a fund: match every persons flight training expense dollar for dollar.
