Personal Airplanes Just Got A lot More EXPENSIVE 

Nice bird! But it breaks my heart that that very same aircraft just 10 years ago would have been under 60. Assuming you don't have any glass. Isn't this nuts? Like what is happening?

​@@waveydaveyav8r442 you assume correctly, steam gauges, no GPS. The one thing it does have though is the Stratus ESG transponder and receiver so I have full ADS/B out and ADS/B in on my iPads. Primary issue seems to be (as MojoGrip covers here) a big jump in demand. Especially for training aircraft. From what I understand, the last two years have seen big increases in the number of student pilot certificates being issued.

Lucky dawg! Wing AD complied with?

And we can all thank Joe and Company for this...

Add to that Climate Change rules plan to eliminate all fuels. " Net-Zero Emissions Target Set By ICAO for 2050 The “collective long-term aspirational goal” pushes forward industry efforts to make aviation as a whole more sustainable. During the 41st International Assembly last week, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted the “collective long-term aspirational goal” of net-zero carbon emissions for the aviation industry by 2050, according to an ICAO statement. The meeting brought together more than 2,500 delegates from 184 states and 57 organizations in Montreal, Canada. “States’ adoption of this new long term goal for decarbonized air transport, following the similar commitments from industry groups, will contribute importantly to the green innovation and implementation momentum which must be accelerated over the coming decades to ultimately achieve emissions-free powered flight,” said Salvatore Sciacchitano, president of the ICAO Council. The goal requires financing and other forms of support from member states, and paying for the changes needed will tax a system that has recently undergone quite a bit of stress. www.flyingmag.com/net-zero-emissions-target-set-by-icao-for-2050/

@@dh-flies The house I was looking at went from 150k to 290k within 3 months in mid 2020. But yea, thanks to Joe and company

@@dh-flies Literally the entire world is being affected by inflation. America isn’t even the worst of the countries. This has all happened to corporate greed and the pandemic screwing everything up

“Significant risk” a recession is guaranteed, it’s the goal of the fed to cool the economy with recession to reduce out of control inflation.

Keep that friend close! 😉

@@EJWash57 23 years so far. Thick and thin.

@@mattym8 So cool. 👍🏽

That much for a Tiger? I like them, but not that much!

@@EJWash57 Hard to swallow, isn't it? Do you remember back in the early oughts? Like 2002-2005? The Grumman birds were going for around $50,000. Crazy , right? My dad bought his 1980 Warrior II in 1984 for $40,000, which translates to $122,000 today. I know he had a partner in that plane, but I don't know if it was purchased with a partner. They don't even make the warrior any longer, but how much are the last models? Well north of that. How do they expect us to be able to afford to fly?

@@waveydaveyav8r442 "How do they expect us to be able to afford to fly?" THAT is the $64M (inflation!) question, sir. One short answer is going with the Experimental/Amateur-built (E/AB) if you want a new(er) airframe. Although, look for the FAA to revisit the rules and regs. Some build-assist outfits are literally offering to "build your airplane for you", which flies in the face of the FAA's blessing and intent of build-assist. Over the years, the FAA has told us that it is in their best interest, and the county's best interest to keep aviation affordable for the "average" citizen, and not just the elite. How to tackle that? I just don't know. Although, the FAA can point to Ultralights and Light-Sport aircraft and say, "See! Affordable!"

Redistribution of wealth 🎉

Read Thomas Sowell

This too shall pass… your words just picked me right back up. Bless the stoics. Thank you

Good points. Keep in mind that the Piper PA-28 wing spar Airworthiness Directive (AD) which coincided with the Pandemic, initially drove that model's resale prices through the floor. Slight recovery now that many have gone through the AD process. "This is also *propping* up high prices." I see that you did there! 😆

@@EJWash57 haha!! You caught that one

Look up Weimar Republic.

100%, and with the administration combating its debt expenditure by increasing the money supply with such a dramatic injection, the damage is done. All prices as we move forward will continue to expand upwards at an unreasonable rate for the middle class to remain stable/fat, expanding wealth in the upper echelon until the next boom/bust cycle. Might be another 10/20 years at least. Either way, we can’t read the future and what conflicts it holds, so the best course of action is to do as you said.

Italian bread at Walmart up from $1 to $1.47. easy math, a 47% increase.

@@annsheridan12 I'm guessing 97% of leftists never took an economics class. Like Rob Reiner. Dead from the neck up.

Right, I love how they say inflation is 8%! On what??? Lol I don't know a thing that isn't up 25-35%....

Well, you can't blame me. I didn't vote for the current Clown Show.

@@georges. This is all because of who you apparently did vote for considering the snowball started well before the current admin. Please go Trump some where else and educate yourself some before posting crap like this.

@@Fenderbeanrc You lefties always make excuses for yourself...no one is buying it anymore. You voted for a loser with less intelligence than a baboon. I've lost over $400k in investments alone since your potato took office. Wake up, fess up, wise up. Do not waste any more of my time with your ignorance

@@Fenderbeanrc Thank you!

@@EJWash57 Did he get on his knees for you...?

🤣

What?

@@mattym8 like a real estate multiple listing system. So, imagine you could upload one plane to aeroavion, and it uploaded to multiple classified sites, even ones that you're have never heard of, and the system could provide a proxy email which would collect all responses to one location too.

@@stevensheaves oh, I see. I think his present problem is getting more listings. He has planes from one company and that’s it.

@@mattym8 yea, that's my point. Create more value, such that people come to you instead of other companies. If they can post once on his site, and get 10 other sites worth of postings, that would be more valuable than any of the other individual sites. It's just a thought, might be damn hard to execute, eh... I digress.

The Biden effect.... Did you vote for him?

You make toast for a living...?

The piston single airplane market is several orders of magnitude smaller than the auto market, so it’s not a great comparison. Now if you compare the price of an Aston Martin to a Ford Mustang…

@@cessna177flyer3 obviously there are economies of scale but a Nissan Versa sedan with aircon is about 15k$, 12k only a couple of years ago. Whereas a Cirrus is closer to 1 million. And the Versa is the more sophisticated vehicle of the two. SR22 literally uses a 1950 engine design. You can compare to low volume car producers like Lotus, their prices have risen a lot lately and they are changing but a 2015 Exige price was 66k$ and the Elise I think was cheaper. These are small simple cars and Lotus was in constant state of bankruptcy but it goes to show that it's not impossible to do low volume at prices not wildly different from mass production. Say no more than factor 4 more expensive. And indeed german made FK14 complete plane is less than 150k. And they make vastly fewer than Cirrus. 442 SR planes in 2021. If the price was 1/10, that market might be 100x larger. If the plane was ambitious in design instead of a WWII tractor engine, that market could be much bigger still. Another way to look at it is how far along would electric cars be if not for Elon Musk. That can tell you what actually thinking and doing can do versus the status quo mindless. And I assure you, an aircraft done well would run circles around an SR22 at 1/5 the price, even run circles around a visionjet. Do you think Elon Musk would accept lycoming and incontinental charging 140k$ for a 1950 era 590 engine. Or would he murder them with extreme prejudice as they deserve for their 70 year betrayal. Even Cirrus is a challenger to the absolute stagnation in GA. Beechcraft Bonanza is technically still being produced but I think I heard that their sales are so low that not one was sold in 2020 or 2021. How do you produce an aircraft for 77 years running sales down to zero and never once realize there is a need for progress. Same goes for lycoming and incontinental. And Cessna. I find them guilty as charged.

Lol. Yea that guy is responsible for global inflation. There are things happening in the world outside the US. Open your eyes.
