Thanks Tom.

Yes, I'm looking into my first Skymaster, but the mission isn't entirely known in advance I suppose. What I do know is that it will be recreational only, as in flying to recreational...

To clarify, I'm wondering if it is possible to remove--for lack of a better word--the pressurized rating of the aircraft, so as to remove the constraints and obligations associated with that...

Is it possible to de-rate a pressurized aircraft?

I've read plenty about the benefits and costs of pressurized cabins. I'd love to cruise 10k with nary the pop of an ear (truly--I have terrible issues with my ears and pressure changes), but the...

Some great info here. Though I am largely a flatlander (here in the northeast our tallest hurdle is 6288ft, and a standout at that), as my opener mentioned I have put some stock in the discussions...

JB,

I'm by no means an expert here but have copious amounts of reading on the subject behind me. It seems that at the hand of a well trained and disciplined pilot, tbo and greater is just as...

Thanks for some thoughtful and informative replies gentlemen. So far as the "mission" goes, again I'm a neophyte so I've had trouble with that term. Perhaps I think that means the occasional trip...

Turbos altitude advantage

Often, turbos are lauded as having the advantage of being able to climb out of IMC or into tailwinds (among a few other things). I'm curious to know from those experienced/knowledgeable what...

Ernie, Joe, more great input.

Joe, to clarify, were you saying 120/hr including the annuals?

Ernie, what kind of ship are those numbers for?

Wow ... what an incredibly honest and detailed post. One rarely sees that much effort and openness on an internet forum. Thanks. Very helpful to say the least.

Thanks Jeff. Also very useful numbers. Three-fifty sounds pretty awesome for fuel; I'm still paying 6 and change in spite of the recent price of crude.

Thanks Ed. Very helpful.

I'm really just looking for an idea of the average expenses to expect in a year. It isn't so much a matter of determining what can be afforded, but rather an attempt at...

Isn't it quite normal to buy a plane through a loan, rather than outright--even if you do happen to have 90k lying around? I would think from a risk and cashflow perspective that 7% financing would...

I was afraid someone would say that. And no, I don't. But this would put that budget over $3k a month and that's a big nut. But okay, putting that aside for a moment, do the rest of the numbers...

Skymaster ownership costs: 2015 edition

N8922M down, Pilot up.

Was glad to hear the pilot was unharmed; very sad to see another Skymaster possibly removed from the fleet. I'll be very curious to hear more about the incident, but one source called it a gear...

But the M20s also feather, and they only advertise something around 11ish. Add to this, fwiw, that the Mooneys earn their living by being just a little more slippery than other aircraft in their...

Not to belabor the point, but is 13.2 really even roughly correct? This would well exceed the same data for an M20F, and approach mid-to-late century gliders. Given the recent tail of a near double...

Where do you draw the line on IMC and weather challenges?

Another neophyte question:

To be sure, every aircraft has its own set of capabilities and limitations, but I wanted to ask you folks about either your own personal boundaries on weather, or those...
