I'm generally in agreement with Skyking that LOP isn't cost effective given the equipment required, that the extra work (as opposed to enjoying the scenery and spending more time scanning for traffic) isnt worth it, and that the manufacturer's opposition speaks volumes. However, as others have already noted above, I could not find evidence that the Nov. 12 Cessna P210 accident had anything to do with LOP or GAMIs (and even if it did, one incident isn't statistically significant) and I don't find the argument that Cessna didn't put engine analyzers compelling since they were not reasonably priced when these airplanes were designed.
