HI THERE
in this group, i know i am preaching to the choir.
MY CONCERN,
is that another 500 hour C-182 thinks that he can jump into a Lancair and fly away
MY HOPE
is that the next buyer will take the time to read our archives and keep his/herself safe
DOCTOR KILLER SYNDROME
A. the old transition was moving from a Piper Cub into a Bonanza, 50 years ago
B. the new transition from a Bonanza to a Lancair has the same relative demand of new skill
WAS/IS a Bonanza a dangerous plane?
(or the MU2?)
ONLY
in the hands of someone without the training
MAYBE I AM SELFISH
I would like the safety for our planes to be recognized the same as the Certified fleet;
THEN,
our insurance costs and insurance availability would be reasonable.
THEN
When my Lady asked me what is the safety record i could answer good.
AND INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE IRRATIONAL
I two Lancair right now
$1m 100/seat Lancair IV $586 annual cost
$1m 100/seat Lancair IVP $3,234 annual cost
(same pilot, same hours, same airframe)
NUTS
AND NO, I DO NOT THINK THAT THE LANCAIR AIRCRAFT ARE UNSAFE
i think they are wonderful. i love them,
FINALLY
i posted the Falco piece to show that it is not Lancair's that are the problem
the problem is proper training.

peter
and, anytime you want to fly with me, just let me know, i will make myself availableHEY
