My flight club has a new Cessna 182T added to the fleet so I checked it out today. Nice looking bird, look forward to flying it. So that totals to 3 x 182's and an Archer now.
Nice Byrd! I got the fly Cessna 182 with a G 1001 time. I was completely overwhelmed coming from a Legacy 172 with a six pack. I was surprised, however, how easy it was to fly and land!
Thanks, it flies well. I trained on the round gauges so I know how you feel, big change to go to glass. G1000 PC simulator helped me a lot to navigate all the pages and capabilities of the system. Like you I found it to be easy to land, as 172 are notorious floaters where the 600# heavier 182's with 3 blade prop seems to slow down for me so more predictable landing. Some of my best landings have been in 182's.
Correct, its a 2005 model. Its "new" to my flying club however, we have 2 other C182's. I've flown the NXi versions, those are nice and they boot up real quick with nice displays and the ESP safety features.
