I haven't been in ages but it was nice to not have to wait in 2hr lines. The after dark thing is the way to go it seems. Have fun when you go!

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.

Sure did, not sure how I missed that, I work with people from Slovakia too, own goal!

Not sure exactly, this was my friends plane. Its on display at the Pima air museum, I'm sure the data sheet tells what it has. Its was a fairly sporty performance wise.

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.

Its a 2005. Low time so it looks very good.

Well done

I believe that was from www.sim-avionics.com/index.html I'll have to check to be sure but I believe it was from a Canadian company. Hard to see in the video, but the center post is what holds the overhead panel, pretty sturdy metal beam.

Easy one, as it was really calm and smooth at 7am.

Ha yeah thanks, I don't take it for granted that a short 40 minute flight I can be in such a nice scenic place like Sedona, never gets old. The C182 is in the shop a bad cylinder so had to settle for the Archer, but its a nice flying bird. Payson isn't bad either, good restaurant on the field there too. Check density altitude in the summer, Sedona was over 7000 ft already!

@@jasongarde8030 Unless yur carryin' full fuel and 3 other guys, you'll be fine. Thanks fer responding. I had 1/2 fuel tanks and 3 other adults at the foot of Mt. Shasta/Mono Lake, CA. First flight in the mountains after learning ta fly at sea level in the Navy. Had the presence of mind ta do short/high field takeoff and the old rental 172 was shakin' like crazy; me standin' on the brakes, engine roaring, dust and gravel shootin' behind - 'til I thought she wuz revved up full; everybody lookin' at me; first time I realized they all trusted their lives to me and didn't know me that well. When we cleared the runway, we were at about 15 feet of altitude and it took me 20 minutes to climb as I slowly circled over the lake until I could safely reach depart altitude, . . . Density altitude . . .

@@jasongarde8030 Regarding the bad cylinder in the shop and down time. Ya gotta feel great too that ya didn't "learn the hard way" about that cylinder, the only other alternative to your systemic and dutiful conscientious scrutiny! THAT's what I meant in the essential, distinct and true difference of the pilot life, the world of aviation and flying lifestyle, a delightful by-product, if you will, in learning to fly coming with every pilot's consciousness/awareness that seems to develop in pilots by necessity and the very telling trait instructor pilots go to the lengths that they do to develop well and fast enuf in their students in training - the tricks and humorous stories are also legendary in this regard about THE pilot experience - that is, means and shows exactly and always one's minimal capacity or capability to fly when present; the difference between "bein' rusty" versus well-practiced/planned/prepared/never fails. Dare I say it? . . . the Right Stuff hasta be in all pilots and few, if any are just "naturals" cuz it ain't natural fer humans ta fly t'all.

Thanks Chris, I actually like The Cure songs in my old age, they had some good music.

Great day for sure! Those donkeys were out there and had good shots of them but forgot to hit the record button :( on that part.

Thanks man! Look close and you can see those bright white displays North of the stadium where you were at when I was flying over.

I think that was a Variez, the first of that line of planes.

I have a set.
