Curious on what TaS speeds you are typically seeing?
How do you and your partner schedule the plane given the high usage? Depends on weight. The plane has a pretty wide range of weight with 2400 lb UL. So typically I put 263 KTAS in the flight plan, but on the lighter side seeing up to about 268 at normal cruise settings. If you run by ITT easily in the 270's. We just use the normal power settings, though, there is an app (actually a couple) for that. The apps do underestimate TAS, because they take them from the POH which, like I said earlier is 6-8 knots slower than real world. :-)

Jim The basic med thing intrigues me. I can see myself going there one day. Here she is running at FL180. 261 KTAS, burning 335 pph. That would give a range of over 1000 nm with reserves. I think it is the ultimate basic med plane. Can't think of one that has better combination of range payload and speed below FL180. A few years down the line, can pick one of these up pretty well priced. Attachment: 1 (115).jpg

So buying a used one is a pretty good, no risk deal. I'll admit to combing Controller after your first post on this thread, looking for an M600 with all of 650 hours on it. What you got for the trade is not material to me but I am curious as to the price it was/is offered for sale by the dealer. Trading up is unjustifiable for me given how much I'm currently flying, but reading your posts makes me envious. Ashley

I don’t buy the benefits of running any turbine less than 100%! That is a good point. Have always been the mindset of running things a little on the soft side. In the case of the turbine, this one is pretty de-rated, and at least at this time we have the engine under warranty and on plans ESP Gold, so probably doesn't make sense to trade Hobbs times for slightly reduced wear.

So being a two owner plane, how do you'll handle maintenance, how many hours are you'll each allowed to fly, what about scheduling conflicts etc?
