Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Friday, August 21, 2009. Square Peg - Square Hole! The following list is basically what I wrote down.

Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Friday, June 26, 2009. Believe it or not, your storage or location might also be a deciding factor. Look at your hangar. Does it have mostly low or high wings in there and can you fit a certain type in? Of course, if you are outside (which I think in Canada 12 months a year is madness) it may not matter, same as if you have a nice individual or T-hangar, but it is worth looking at. A C-337 is a big girl - seriously! To agent or not to agent? So there I have...

GeneralAviation.ca: Understanding Why
http://generalaviationcanada.blogspot.com/2009/06/understanding-why.html
Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Saturday, June 13, 2009. So, there is certainly a case for ownership, but there could be a very large financial one for renting. In essence, every every model I have run on spreadsheets shows 50 hours per year being the break-even point for renting vs. ownership for a light GA single-engine. In other words, if you fly less than 50 hours a year, it is cheaper to rent. Posted by Post Admin. Labels: Buying Canadian GA Aircraft.

GeneralAviation.ca: The Second One

Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Friday, August 21, 2009. Yes A little relieved? Sort of. Making a large purchase is always a big decision. The location of the beast, the cost involved added the near-miss meant I made the decision to look locally within reason. I thought a driving radius of three hours would be about right and hoped that something would come-up in that territory. I thought as well that there is no rush, so no need to worry, there's loads of time. It is funny that the actua...

GeneralAviation.ca: Mission vs. Ability vs. Cost
http://generalaviationcanada.blogspot.com/2009/06/ok-so-i-want-piper-meridian-turboprop.html
Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Saturday, June 13, 2009. Mission vs. Ability vs. Cost. OK, so I want a Piper Meridian turboprop - no - I want a Cessna 310 twin for over-the-water, or a classic 337 centre-line thrust. Of course I also want an amphibious Cub for some lo and slow flying and bush work along with a decent Klingon "cloaking device" to hide it from my wife. OK - perfect! Let it not be us, we should know better. Useful load is critical if you want to take things with you. If ...

GeneralAviation.ca: The problems
http://generalaviationcanada.blogspot.com/2009/09/problems.html
Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Friday, September 4, 2009. I was lucky that one of my aviation friends knew an AME which he recommended. I hired him to inspect the aircraft and report to me on his findings. He took six hours but I had budgeted for ten. Now six hours looking at an aircraft might seem excessive, but quite a few were spend pouring over the logs, checking for AD's. Being done, STC's. Well from all my type homework of course. The second one was that all AD's. Firstly, the AD's.

Latest Aircraft For Sale at GeneralAviation.ca. Friday, August 21, 2009. You better believe it! So, I thought, let's plan to see this baby. Worst thing is we waste $1500 in travel and time, but it'll be an experience and at the aircraft looks like a really good buy! Turns out, like many things it seems, not so much! As you can guess, my eyes were about to be opened very wide. Here's how I avoided wasting much time and money on, what was clearly, a bucket of bolts! Not only can you look to see who owned a...
