Got kept low today on a leg and was running full tilt at fl280.

386 TAS at ISA +13. Seems like 395-400 definitely doable on a cooler day.

FF sure gets up there at FL280. It was what, around 260lbs/side when I hitched that ride with you at FL370? Still, way lover than a jet for just about the same speed.

Adam, fuel definitely picks up at fl280, although for a short trip it still isn’t too bad.

600lbs per hour is the sweet spot for fuel/speed and where I usually end up.

Hard plane to beat, have had more people in the back lately, pax comfort is great. Amazing that the cabin is stand up height for so many people. This plane makes me realize how non innovative the aviation industry is.

Congratulations Mark! You must be very happy!

I seem to have read somewhere that you used to own a HondaJet? If so, why did you decide to change to a P180?

Thank you Adam. Without this thread I might not have looked the Piaggio way, so kudos to you for this influence!.

No I did not own a HondaJet I thought of buying one but backed away when made aware of its fueling and crosswind issues. My previous airplane was a Mustang. Today I just spent puttering around polishing things and learning my new airplane. Hooked the GPU up in my hangar, turned on the XM music and A/C and generally just had a great day hangar flying.

And why the HELL my photos cant come out correctly I still haven't figured out!

Go here

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=182549

and add your name to the list.

Congrats on the Piaggio! I may also be adding my name to the list of "influenced by Adam" soon. He's persuasive, isn't he?

Two options:

1) When taking pictures, hold the phone horizontally with the red button to your right and the cameras to your left.

2) After taking pictures in a different orientation, light a bunch of candles in a pentagram, sacrifice a chicken and chant multiple voodoo incantations while editing the photos on your phone and they MAY rotate properly.

Option 1 is easier.

Nice thread and arrival to a great accomplishment. So many pilots want to be your hangar neighbor, stunning man cave. Nice Tripacer too!
Thanks for sharing
Mark
