This article pretty much describes the differences between the two airplanes and points up the issues that I have with the Cirrus. http://www.airplanenoise.com/articles/Skylane%20vs.%20Cirrus.pdf -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

OK, I know I said I would not get to fly this plane until tomorrow, but it arrived early and so I took a flight. This is a new turbocharged Cessna T182T. For those that have not seen the 182T (either turbo or normal, introduced last year), you might be a little startled the first time you take a...

Okay, we have gone 'round and 'round about why new airplanes cost so much: low demand, liability, inefficient manufacturing, regulatory requirements, etc. It is so daunting that Toyota appears to have scrapped its GA project. Perhaps one reason demand is so low is because of the cost of becoming...

All those people who worry about explosive decompression, innocent bystanders getting shot, etc., are missing the point. If a sky marshal (or pilot, for that matter) really has to get into a fight with a terrorist, odds are you are going to lose the airplane. Either the terrorist will set off a...

So I guess I can let Jeremiah go home for awhile. My airplane will be safe without him on 24 hour guard because the terror alert is only yellow. The rain was getting to his rheumatism, anyway, and it was beginning to rust that old musket and bayonet he used in the War for American...

I won't kill file Dave or Mr. Brooks in retaliation for their silly threats. I will even fly with David Brooks if he wants to call 800-645-3563 and put himself on my schedule -- my treat. I promise I won't even bring a gun. Despite the impression that many have of me, I would rather fly than...

I got a demo flight in a Diamond DA-40 equipped with the Garmin G-1000 glass cockpit this morning. We departed IFR from Tacoma Narrows and flew west for some maneuvers. This plane was the second one out of the factory with the G-1000. I had a difficult time maintaining my altitude; the altitude...

The parents of Bryan Jones, a 34 year old Microsoft engineer who was one of nine skydivers killed in the crash of a Cessna Caravan, are suing Cessna. The Caravan was returning from Star, Idaho, to Shelton, Washington. The parents are alleging that the Cessna Caravan was defective and should not...

That fact that it is extremely rare probably does not make anyone involved feel any better about it. There were four souls lost in the collision between a 152 and a 172. AP and CNN say one of them was in a car in the ground and the rest on board the planes. UPI says two of the victims were on...

Tomorrow is Friday, September 19: International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It is important that pilots and controllers use proper radio terminology on this day. Instead of merely requesting permission to taxi, for example, the pilot should say, "Avast, ye scurvy scum in the tow'r. We be taxiing to...
