I dont think the question was clear, it was can you go 24 Months straight without any flying and do BFR. Or do you need to have at least a few hours of flying time. Asked another way can you never fly at all and just keep doing BFR every 24 months to keep license current.

Doing IFR after I finish I was thinking about doing Commercial just for the skills and practice. However, I never intend to fly for hire or anything. I run numerous businesses so flying for hire would never be feasible. Is it worth it to do Commercial or should I do something else to sharpen my...

I am in the market for a TTx or Columbia 400 but it has been impossible to get one to buy. When one comes up its either grossly overpriced or already under contract. Usually its under contract. In the meantime, I am thinking of renting, but I dont know where to begin. At flight schools you can...

So I was planning to purchase a Cessna TTx but I actually found a really nice Columbia 400 that I plan to buy. Those that have my read my posts know that I am just a student pilot and this plane will be for after my PPL for fun and to IFR train... Anyway, although I fly often to NJ for...

Hate to create a new thread for such a stupid question but I have to since I cant find answer online.... What is "Hot Weather Package" on SR22. Have a few people talking me out of TTx, so was looking online and I see some SR22 for sale with "Hot Weather Package" but no explanation of what that...

They are evil, you get a fender bender not your fault they raise your rates, you use your uninsured motorist benefits they cancel you, they can find a mistake in your application, cancelled material misrepresentation. Ask you to attend an IME or EUO without providing proper notice, benefits...

I love the idea but I wouldn't do it cause I don't want the headache. I am a lawyer, so I could draft this up but I would need to make an LLC, worry about proper collection of sales tax etc. Plus I don't want to get into legal battle if anyone is injured or there is damage. Yes I will have...

Update, was told I couldnt get a quote for TTx insurance because I am not a pilot yet. Said I need to hire a pilot and designate them. Guess thats what Mark Cuban does, hire full time pilots. Guess I will have to wait until have PPL to purchase TTx for IFR training.

I plan to do IFR right after, my plan was PPL in 172, then purchase TTx and do IFR training in it, but that plan is ever so changing with this new insurance development. And yes I plan to fly with CFI even after IR.

Thats what I was thinking, until it was suggested to buy the plane now, then my eyes opened wide with excitement, but I dont think its possible, I just put in a call to an insurance agent to see what they say. To be continued....

Yeah 5 hours+ with stops for business would be tiring. I will probably stick to leisure flying.

This is an interesting, I didnt think about hanger issue. I will start looking into it. I already did medical, ground etc. When you say buy now, should I really finish my PPL in training in TTx? If so, wouldnt they not insure me? Looking online it says price is X for experienced pilots or price...

Off topic newbie question...So you are taught to say your airplane type ie Skyhawk123AB instead of Cessna123AB. But what do you do for TTx? TTx123AB is a lot.

Interesting so you mean like SR22 and SR22T would be about the same cruise speed until you are high up on oxygen.

Whats reasonable? Lol. I am not a fan of SR22 as I've heard some negative comments about the frame and such. But I guess I can do some research on it.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I think FL to NJ would not be feasible for business in TTx, Ill stick to commercial. Id love a TBM or Meridan but I cant afford them. Even if I could the price, I couldn't afford the insurance or maintenance. Love the TTx anyway I am going to be on the look out...

Thanks for this answer, very insightful. Only reason I was thinking TTx over SR22 was because of speed and non-stop option, but based on this it seems like stop half way is inevitable. Also, it seems like the speeds are comparable. The TTx wouldnt be much faster. Cant say how much exactly though.

Awesome, so again I am bad at Foreflight since I just started. With this route its 4 hour 27 minutes. But thats with Cruise Speed of 235 kts which is what the advertised Cruise Speed of TTx is online. Is that realistic? I know whats published is not really the numbers, is it more like 210? 200...

Wonder how much flight time that will add, if only I knew how to use Foreflight properly.... Was kidding, plus the plane floats right?
