Or... Does the G1000 have a simulation mode?

Not one that includes the standby altimeter. ;^)

Good point.

Many years ago I made part of a flight of three from Marsh Harbour, Abaco,
Bahamas, to Ft. Pierce, FL. A normally aspirated C-210, a turbocharged T-210
and a Turbo Aztec.

We all landed with no more than 3-4 minutes between the first arrival and the
last. The fuel consumption though... it was telling.

C-210 19.5 gallons
T-210 26.0 gallons
Turbo Aztec 59.0 gallons.

That was an expensive flight for somebody.

Figuring that 100LL was well below $2 gallon back then (whenever that
was) $100+/- for fuel isn't too bad - That same flight would run
almost $300 nowadays. BTW, didn't the turbo Aztrucks have the ability
to take the turbos offline and run normally aspirated? That'd help the
fuel burn a bit...

Good lord, that can't be good for the TBO.

Well, he's going full blast at 16,500 ft. TAS is 182KTS, GS 169KTS.

Pretty impressive considering that, apparently, no one is sitting in the
front seats...

You wouldn't see the pilot's knees, and his hands are off the yoke while the
A/P is on and he's taking the pictures.

Not that the steam gauges could mimic.

Yikes. Now I'm getting "urges!" :-)

The question for pilots "of a certain age" is, "Can I keep a teenage mistress
*and* my medical?"

You've got higher goals than me. I'd be happy
if I could order a kid's meal and a beer at
the same time :-)

Anyway, wasn't there a very good thread (maybe 7 years ago) about why NOT
to
buy a small turbo'd single? IIRC, it discussed associated costs vs.
performance differences. The average flatlander flights took an even
greater
beating by the numbers.

Try that out here.

Or, better yet, try this one: CYS-BCE

Sure, you could mnake it in a NA'ed aircraft....

Yeah. I guess the 182 KTAS is cool, but my impression is that the bird
has
been "rode hard." No thanks.

But you know what... I'd rather buy an aircraft that has been 'rode
hard', but flies 300 hours a year, than an aircraft that has been babied
and does less than 50 hours a year...

Second that.

Note, too, what John Deakin wrote about WOTLOPSOP.

Yea probably. When I first looked at the picture I noticed the lack of
knees. I didn't notice that the picture was cut off above the bottom of the
panel. Can I blame this one on bifocals?
