I just moved to Tucson and sold my 2004 T182T when I left Illinois. I needed a good cross country platform and decided the P Baron was the ticket. Got my multi rating in October and am now ready to roll. The P Baron has a lot of complexity going on and I'd like to be able to leverage the collected knowledge here in the forum.
I hope to close next week on a 1982 P Baron that the seller has been chasing AP issues on for the last month. Hopefully, flying again next week!!!

Welcome aboard. The P Baron is a great xcountry aircraft for sure. Do fly it conservatively and be very attuned to power management and the maintenance bills won’t empty your wallet.

I'll watch the power....

I'm going to start at KTUS. Long runways and a reasonable hangar rate. Was on the wait list at Marana for about 9 months....................

Username Protected wrote: Hi Jefferey. Welcome to the forum. While I am of not help in the P Baron arena, I can tell you that a P Baron is on my radar and I would be interested in hearing more about your story. Such as, your twin rating. You got that in October? Where did you do that? What kind of aircraft? Did you sell your 182 already or did you take the MEI course and rating while traveling around in the 182. Secondly, and this is something you might not want to answer but as a newer pilot myself, this will be critical. Insurance. Were you able to get it on the P Baron? Maybe not since you have not closed yet. So have you shopped? What is it like? I am a 325 hours Insturment rated single engine pilot. No twin and no retract gear time. I have considered going on ahead and getting my MEI rating....but then again, no clue where to do that etc. Anyways, congrats! Feel free to share how you got to this point...buying a P baron.
Today we had a long 4.5 hour grind from Disney to KY and a nice roomy back seat of rite wife and kiddo to sack out in would have been great.... I sold my T182 to Van Bortel in April before I moved from Illinois to Tucson. I looked at B36TC and A36 but decided to go the twin route w/ pressurization. I did my multi-engine training in a Seneca II at Falcon Field in Mesa. 100 mile round trip for each session. Insurance was 'shocking' to say the least. I understand rates going up all over the country on all types of aircraft. The only multi and retract time I had was in the MEI training. I understand that I should get some relief around 200 hours...

Congratulations Jeffrey and welcome! I likewise changed brands (before the Textron buyout) from a 182 to a G36 Bonanza then to the current G58 Baron. BPPP or ABS has great training programs available. Wish the pressurization was still available on the 58 for the wife’s sake. No doubt you’ll enjoy the aircraft and it’s capabilities.

Got it done. Haven't unloaded pics form my phone. Got out of NC before the weather turned rotten a week ago. Had to make a night exit, but had an experienced pilot with me!!
