Here are some other thoughts on replacing those gages - although these are "approved", I'm not sure the 337 in necessarily included.

Does it use a mechanical gyro or is it solid state? How hard was it to get that approved? Was it STC'ed or did you do a 337?

You'd hate to lower the status of the neighborhood with one of those smaller Gulfstreams. Too funny!

Danger,

I see the NTSB has an accident report dated 02/02/85, in which a person was injured by the front prop. It contains minimum details.

I think the answer to all of this confusion lies in the definition of a few air filter words:

I can help out with compressing and/or making the stills. The problem is that I can't start with a QuickTime .mov file. If you can get it in one of the million flavors of .avi, or an mpeg...

I wonder if anyone told them what the word "Bereave" means in English. <grin>

Kind of reminds me of the Japanese soft drink "Pocari Sweat." Or, their non-dairy creamer "Creep."

Hugh,

The single engine rate of climb is one factor, but how much runway will a single engine takeoff require? How about to clear a 50 foot obstacle? There's no specs on this. That may in fact be...

Bruce,

You ask some good questions. The bottom line is that Skymasters do not have a better safety record than other light twins. It is not a panacea.

Why?

I tend to agree with SkyKing - it sounds like you're rushing it a bit. The NTSB records are full of fatalities of pilots with more airplane than they could handle. At only 30 hours, you're...
