100,000+ flights in the DA20

Doss Aviation completes 100,000th training flight. http://www.chieftain.com/news/local/doss-aviation-marks-th-training-flight/article_00aef82c-5607-11e1-9117-0019bb2963f4.html

As my associate Jeff Owen pointed out..... 100,000 flights during this time period =
55 flights per day x 365 days year x 5 years.

I quote Jeff "

If 50 or so of these airplanes are good enough and provide this kind of service for a demanding master like the USAF then it without question is good enough for any flight school anywhere who cannot in their wildest dreams have that kind of utilization. "

I agree.

Mooney Speeds

I flew our 2008 Mooney Ovation, N974LM from FXE to JQF on October 19th. What an amazing machine! True airspeed of 189 knots at 11,000 at 15gph. Ground speeds in the mid 240s. My fuel range ring was way past Nova Scotia just after leaving FXE. All this was followed by a coupled ILS approach with the GFC 700 autopilot and SVT which brought me safely home. See my flight below.

Check out this amazing deal on a very rare 2007 DA40, N691PS. Diamond made only a select number of DA40-180s with the GFC 700 autopilot. This was the precursor to the DA40 XL. This airplane is ideal for someone who wants the GFC 700 autopilot at a price break compared to the XL. Also, the useful load is higher on N691PS and the CG range is more forward than the XL or XLS. The airplane is in excellent condition with only 276 hours of total time as of this writing. Additional features include

Lycoming Key Operations Document

Below is a link from Lycoming regarding proper operations for their engines. While the majority of the aircraft that I sell have the IO-360 engine, this manual covers Lycoming 's entire line of engines including carbureted, geared and turbocharged engines. This article is not to replace procedures in your POH; it is to provide additional information. At the end there is a quiz on how well you know your engine.

Need for Additional Pilots

I just read the following article from USA Today about the upcoming worldwide shortage for pilots. Pilot hiring typically goes through phases with years of low hiring followed by a huge demand for pilots. Because pilot pay is typically based on seniority, getting in at the right time makes a big difference in pay and your work schedule. This upcoming hiring phase would appear to be perhaps the largest yet. If you are wanting to become a pilot, the next few years may offer a great opportunity for you.
