Re: The Decline and Eventual Demise of Small GA?
I also think outreach efforts such a Colin and others mentioned can help a great deal. We could completely reverse this downward spiral if every active non-commercial pilot converted one pilot prospect into an active pilot every year or even every other year. I have made that my personal goal. I ap...

Re: Counting instrument approaches
Thanks for extracting the relevant parts of the letter. It feels like the ambiguous part is still ambiguous, but the definitely-counts and definitely-does-not-count parts I feel more confident about now.

Re: Counting instrument approaches
I'm glad there's some difference of opinion here. Makes me feel less ignorant. Seems like if I'm "in the soup" at FAF or at any point on the final approach segment, it's a loggable instrument approach. If I'm not in soup, but yet not maintaining VFR cloud clearances, it's ambiguous whether...

Re: Counting instrument approaches
Well, that's yet another interpretation. If cloud clearance rules come into play, then if the FAF is at 1700' then it is "loggable" if at the FAF the clouds are anything below 2200' (Class C, D, E). That starts to sound a lot more practical for logging approaches. This would be an easy rul...

Re: The Decline and Eventual Demise of Small GA?
I lived in TX for several years before moving to Boston. While living in Texas I bought my first plane, a DA20-A1. I was able to do that because the cost of living in Texas is relatively low. My home in Massachusetts cost 5x what I paid for a comparable house in Texas. My real estate taxes were 4x l...

Re: Recent Factory Visit
They have a healthy backlog of both DA62 and DA40 orders (they can build either Lycoming XLT or Austro NG models). I was just there a week ago, and the Canadian factory is busier than it has been in years. That's good news! There's not much competition for twins. Maybe that's a good business decisi...
