really depends on plane - this applies for paint, exterior, etc. Paint is running about 25K (sometimes more, sometimes less) for a single engine piston. Some have flown it south of the border to get cheaper rates (probably less EPA/OSHA issues). But it isnt as easy to just spray painting. If...

Interesting that the most knowledgeable person on this board is telling you exatly what you need to do and you completely gloss over it and just ignore it with another follow up saying how new you are and dont know how to proceed. . . . Literally read your previous message and follow it. Now...

Not the OP, but my guess is its a Cessna 421B or Cessna 421C. Those are essentially the only ones running the GTSIO engine - unless you count the new Tecnam P2012 of which they are the only ones running and not sure if any GTSIO engines have been delivered in that configuration.

The three I know of - John Phelps (West Point ? ), Bryan Smith (Richmond ) and Steve Martin (Newport news) that you may want to contact.

Interesting. Maybe different types of planes ? Maybe a trainer on the twin type ? But overall - yes I agree with you. But surprising on the lower twin cost. Would have expected that to be the same at the minimum or higher without any time. That being said - the insurance industry has lower...

the ratio as thats whats important. Some people dont understand math and say my 500K Saratoga was more than twice as expensive as my 200K 182. . . but the hull values was 200 and 500K, so its obviously going to be much more for the more expensive plane. I found the ratio to be substantially...

the question I have on all of this - the plane on final always has the right of way. Its defined at 14 91.113 or something. Not always a fan of how the FAA proceeds to talk around its legalese, but then the final arbiter is that a plane on final has the right of way. But is a plane that isnt...

You have to compare apples to apples. All mine are with 100+ hours TiT as I mentioned on the 210. You cant compare having 5000 hours in a P210, vs a newly minted MEL trying to insure a 421 or something.

wheaties is not far off on those numbers. A p210 is around 8K at the 100+ hour TiT mark with a hull value at 300K. A twin is more, but after 100 hours, the percentage rate seems to be about the same as the high $$$ piston singles. I think the 421 and a 210 is about the same (or close to it)...

interesting. this is a sport aircraft. ..

without instrument, you may want to check the insurance costs for a ppl with 100 hours to see if its palatable for you. My guess is they'll quote you 10K for a 250K hull value.

It’s subscription based. It’s the ifr approach plates. You’ll know If you need it. If you aren’t flying ifr - then you don’t need it.

Flite charts is garmins delivery of FAA plates. Chart view is jeppesens version of those plates. Make sure you have a Flite view subscription and are downloading it as you can get a garmin subscription without Flite charts.

not sure why you are jumping to conclusions. There has never been mention of the ssri pathways being eliminated from any class of medicals. Nor did the good doc say anything along those lines, nor the SSRI document from the FAA. You have to go through the process to get a medical -...

I thought there was some availability at KLZU recently. I also remember PDK having some, but it was a very large shared hangar and quite pricy.

You're potentially mis-representing or mis-interpreting that. It isnt just "ON" based on what you can determine to be on or off, or when you are on or off. There is a medical term, where if you are prescribed and you cant stay off of it - and need to go back on. Then you essentially have...

One just requires you to stay on and the other is testing with it off. It’s not like one is so much easier than the other one. If you think you got off and you could get through without either pathway I think that option isn’t available to you as it wasn’t one time and wasn’t short term.

I believe because you have a history of going off and then on - it’ll be ssri patheay 2. Obviously the docs on here will be better to advise. It can be done but it’s going to be costly and onerous. If you only plan on recreationally flying you may want to consider the sport option.

then every commercial pilot in the airlines is gougy. . . 14 on 16 off. . . thats part time as well. ., . .

Well technically every airline pilot at the legacy going for a type rating are at that level - certainly multi year captains. But what I was intending to say was that every single one of these guys going for their ratings to become airline (121, 135 etc) pilots will all be making those numbers...
