In this interview with Adam Sipe, I cover the basics of owning and operating a Cessna 310. As a General Aviation (GA) evangelist, I hope to raise awareness with the general public on the viability of GA aircraft for regular commuting and family trips. While this concept is not new to baby boomers, the thought of using small aircraft to commute to work is not engrained in generation X or Millennials. Another purpose of this video is to highlight that GA aircraft can provide a viable alternative to commercial air travel. BTW, The cap is slipping indeed slipping forward, bad fit - LOL.Cheers!!

"Owning an aircraft is pricy on the ground. But priceless in the air."

Navy guy here too. Still active, not a pilot. But I’m looking to get into owning an airplane one day. Thank you for your video.

So happy to see you are following your dreams and passion, much love to you young man!!❤️🙏🇺🇸

Clearly, based on your attitude, rather than your background, your opinions regarding training are remarkable. I see too many military and airline pilots that fail to have your view. Excellent ownership advice/experience video.

That was a welcome, thorough, real world overview. Thank you. BTW, my dad had a 310Q I used for my multi. N69648. Great memories!

You are sharp in breaking the costs and all up keep done. As a retired A&P and so many GA owners try to cut costs and then to catch up on repairs as it snowballs. Thanks for the video.

Skymaster is a cool airplane. Always was. Still is..! 😊 The early rare 336 (lighter) was a rip-snorter for '64 days - excel initial climb..!

Do you ever come back down to Charleston. I fly the Da40 out of CHS. If you are ever back in town, we should link up.

Always love looking at your videos. You mentioned Baron and 310...did you consider the Aztec and if so why not the Aztec? It is slower than the Baron and 310 but has a good load and good single engine performance. Not as good looking either...

@billinga 11 месяцев назад

Yes, I did consider platforms from Piper also. The Baron (55, 58) and Cessna 310 (P,Q, R) were better performers overall. OEI at 250FPM at sea level is tops in class and both Baron and 310 can achieve. As for as load capacity, the Baron and 310 allow better load capacity by trading fuel for weight. Thanks for watching!!

Can I train on a jet instead of a prop..I know there's a difference. But wondering.

Why does owning an aircraft cost so much money?

@PatrickMichalina 11 месяцев назад

Those insurance rates are certainly not 2023 lol

@billinga 11 месяцев назад

indeed, insurance is now $3500 per year for $1M smooth.

@thomasfx3190 8 месяцев назад

That’s an expensive commute! Beautiful plane though!

@billinga 8 месяцев назад

Indeed, flying privately is not the most economical choice in some applications. But it has shown to be most viable choice in some small market/short leg options.

You're a Mike Busch guy but not running LOP? Pfft

@billinga 10 месяцев назад

Yep.risk management and condition based maintenance. LOP has few benefits and more risks. But if done correctly, is a reasonable approach. For my panel, better instrumentation and I would run LOP. Thanks for watching and stay safe!!
