Banning pass is wide as the day is long. I think its about 20-30mi wide peak to peak. And the valley floor only gets up to 2-3k at the highest. If you have a gps you’ll be fine. Just follow the I-10. After 9pm winds are usually much calmer anyhow. If you don’t feel comfortable...

HAHAHA well its also used as a business tool, so yeah paying for it outright would not be the smart thing to do $$$ wise. If you know you know.

I don't think 250k is a particularly high hull value in the GA world. Financed its about 1100/mo with 30% down thats not crazy high budget for GA. Yeah I could take that 250k and buy a dilapidated C414 if i'm not sensitive to operating or mx costs, but I approach it from a complete picture...

Hmm I didn't think of this one... what speeds does it cruise at say 65-75% at 10-12k fuel flow? what does economy cruise look like? 10gph per side? looking most Seneca III's lots have boots/and AC as well SE ceiling? I'd love twin time ;-)

point taken. yeah I am contemplating the fact that grandma may just have to go commercial. HAHAHA Briefly looking a G2 Turbo is in my price range, looking at the listings with mid time engines and recent chute repack.

I really really love the SR22, useful load seems lacking and not a 5th seat for grandma (unless I buy one of the new ones) yeah the commuting aspect I'll be very light. I do like the FG saratoga's I've flown, but found them slow for the fuel burn. compared to the A36 and 210. Can the...

maybe buy a cheaper T210 and when the engine goes Tango Uniform, get the TN done on it? 210's seem to beat the A36 on useful. I've yet to fly in a 210, I do like A36's, but not married to high/low wing etc

350hr IFR pilot, no retract time, lots of HP time (saratoga, 182) Looking for airplane to commute one round trip weekly between greater Phoenix area to greater Los Angeles area. (SDL->BUR or VNY) aprox 340mi Family moving to AZ, but I need to be in Los Angeles 1-3 days a week for work. I...

Yeah um ONE day a year? For the kids? And you live on an air-park?! Yeah LAPD Aerostars circle about 200’ Yeah I get could be annoying but really I’d just suck it up.

Did a little poking with friends who are FO's and Captains, and found someone who's willing to interview at 700TT and 100multi for SIC in Citation 560. Got me feeling better about not having to do the time all on my own. Seems like a productive thread, thanks to everyone who shared their...

Well as it currently goes I’m gone at 12noon home at 4AM. Lol. I’ve never had a 9-5 so it’s a non issue in our family.

Reginonal to work up to major is fine. Sounds like lots of the twin time needed is jet-a powered ;-) and yeah I can’t self finance that. Hahaha.

Thanks everyone for the replies. And yes you didn’t read that wrong about having more free/family time being a pilot. Lol. I work on gigs that are GO! every day for 12-16 hours a day sometimes doing 90-100 days straight without a single day off. Sometimes at home, sometimes not. Some gigs...

There's a lot of unknowns for me in this and before I start to look further at this as even a possibility I'd love to hear from people who have experience in this. Currently have about 400Hrs IFR rated private pilot. Mostly 182's, Saratogas, DA40's etc. Thinking of leaving a fairly...
