Quote: A P Baron would be roughly the same speed as what I have now, so it would indeed be between 250 and 300 hrs.
Luc, you are currently doing 210 to 220 KTAS?

(I usually fly mine at the top of VFR altitudes, so get just over 200 knots.)

500-700 nm, Sounds like that would be a good fit for a Jetprop or Meridian. Money is cheap, just up your purchase price to 800-900 AMU. You do want to burn Jet A.

Oh, and I just love the sound and smell of turbines. Not sure if that can be done on this budget and on "human" yearly budget.

How about insurance, maintenance, taxes, training, interest, etc. Just wondering what is included or not in the $353 number. How many years in that average? Mike C.

KIOW is $3.57 full service contract, $3.49 self service list. A couple of nearby places have it under $3 but are self serve list (KVTI, KAWG). I'm based at a high fuel price airport ($5.35). I almost never need to buy fuel here, though, so it isn't as much of a hardship as it may seem. Of course, 100LL at KCID is $6.45, ouch! Might take some of the shine off a piston twin. Mike C.

Hadn't heard that. Could you lead me to the AD? Thanks

Thanks This came up when I was shopping Mooney's at one point. Carbon monoxide would enter the cabin when used in certain phases of flight. The AD is located here. The AD says for M20R and I was told that the M20TN (as far as the FAA is concerned) is still technically an M20R and that the turbo normalizing is actually done as an STC, not as a new type.
With that said, when I look up ADs for a M20TN, it produces a different list than if I enter M20R. So, in summary, you should definitely look into this before you buy one.

I saw the P210 mentioned, but not specifically the P210R. The R seems to be a much better P210 (at least the price seems to reflect it). The owners I have talked to say they typically cruise 200 knots+ in the high teens and low flight levels. It has a longer wing, bigger tail, lighter control feel than the standard P210. Typical priced I have seen are between $300,000 and $350,000.
But at those prices, I could buy a pressurized twin and fly for the rest of my career with the price difference used for fuel and maintenance.

Seems that way, but it really isn't. A P210R might cost $150K more than, say, a 340. Say you fly 150 hours, the 340 costs $100 more per hour in fuel, and $100 more per hour in maintenance, so that $30K more per year. So the $150K surplus is used up in 5 years. And then you sell. The P210R guy has higher hull value so he gets most of his money back, the 340 guy doesn't. Operating cost is the prime determinant of total ownership cost. Mike C.
