: Of course, there's a lot of flights that will get scrubbed in an SR-22 because of icing, so this isn't a good plane for you. My father owns SR-22, it has an anti-icing system (sprays solution out from micro holes in the wings/prop/etc)... I am not yet a pilot, so I'm certain I don't understand all the complexities of this, but would an SR-22 with this system still be as limited as your statement suggests?? -- ET "A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."---- Douglas Adams |

Well, someone else with this idea just folded.
http://www.morrowaircraft.com/ "Lee Elson" wrote in message om... Please excuse the cross post, but the topic might be of interest to several groups. I'm wondering whether providing light aircraft transportation services (people and/or cargo) and consulting to small businesses is likely to be a successful approach to setting up a very small aviation business. In particular, are there commercial pilots who provide short range ( 600 nm) single (piston) engine airplane-based transportation to employees or owners of small businesses? It seems that if the small business "supplies" the airplane, either through rental or part ownership, the FAA considers the activity to be governed by part 91 of the FAR's. I'm aware of the (large) fractional ownership companies but I'm thinking much smaller in cost and number or clients. I'm also aware of the (new) subpart of FAR 91 which governs fractional activities. It appears possible to easily "opt out" of these restrictions. I suspect (but have no evidence) that there are many small companies that could use such transportation services and would find it cost effective compared to traveling by car. If you know of an example where someone has made a business meeting these types of transportation needs, I'd appreciate hearing about the details (e.g. who are the customers, what are the costs). email replies preferred |

... Well, someone else with this idea just folded. http://www.morrowaircraft.com/ Little evidence of that on the web site you cite. Got any more info? From AvWeb's AvFlash: AIR TAXI COMPANY SHUTS DOWN... Financial problems have grounded SkyTaxi Inc, an Oregon start-up that received national exposure for its hybrid air service. SkyTaxi, whose business blended elements of regular airline service and charter service, vacated its maintenance hangar at the Salem airport and laid off employees last month. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#186236 |
