Greetings,

 

As I build my IV-P kit, I=E2=80=99m always watching = with=20 anticipation the other IV-P planes out there and how you guys are using= =20 them.  One thing that has struck me is that it appears most of you w= ith=20 piston IV-P=E2=80=99s are flying them around in the low- to mid-teens rat= her than in=20 the flight levels.  I=E2=80=99m curious why this is the case=E2=80= =A6  Trips not=20 long enough to justify the climb?  You want to stay VFR? =20 Performance or handling issues up high?  Etc.

 

Would love to hear from some of you on the operation= al=20 practicalities of using your IV-P as a X/C traveling machine.  My=20 expectation is that I=E2=80=99ll be using mine a lot on lots of 1,000nm X= /C flights=20 and am planning to fly in the FL220-FL250 range.

 

Thoughts?
