Written by Corey DeWitt with Cameron Tipton No part of this publication may be reproduced without any prior consent from the author. Information presented herein represents the opinions of the author only and is not used to be as the sole criterion for aircraft selection or purchase. INTRODUCTION This book is for those who, like the astronaut above, are alone in the vast and foreign realm of aviation. The aim of this guide is to provide the reader with a better understanding of those aircraft which we deem sensible. Please understand that this guide does not provide an exhaustive list of all aspects of every aircraft nor every aircraft in each category. Nor is every type of aircraft listed, helicopters and mid-size to large-cabin jets are not included since they are not our expertise. Rather we hope to provide you with the information necessary to make an educated decision on your aircraft selection. If you still have questions about the aircraft or any part of the process feel free to contact us at (832) 996-2787.

Aviation is a fascinating world of scientists, engineers, designers, mathematicians, and dreamers who share the tenacity to defy the laws of nature. From the first dreams of flight thousands of years ago to today we have created a slew of ways to put men in the air. The categories in which we have decided to focus on in this guide were chosen based on the practicality, accessibility, and lower entry-level costs. PISTONS Reciprocating or piston engines have been used by aircraft manufacturers since John Stringfellow achieved the first powered flight in 1848 using a small steam engine. The ease of maintenance and efficiency of piston engines have ensured their continued use in all forms of machinery to this day. In aircraft, piston airplanes are typically characterized as small craft seating two to six people and flying five hundred miles or less. A piston airplane does not mean antiquated, many have air conditioning, in-flight text/calls, and the autopilot can do everything but land and takeoff. Some of the most advanced piston planes can fly at speeds around 200kts and can even have full airframe parachutes for added safety. While most are used for personal travel by an owner-pilot, many are well suited to be flown in a corporate environment. Piston airplanes offer tremendous value with the lowest upfront and operational costs while providing great versatility. Beechcraft Baron PISTONS Overview When you imagine a light piston twin, chances are you think of a Baron. In 1961 Beechcraft took everything great about the Bonanza and added a second engine. The Baron has seating for 6 in a club-type configuration. Think of it like a really fast (and really cool) van – load it up and you’re off. Beechcraft even gave the Baron large loading doors Specifications for passengers and bags and nose compartments for even more bags. Much like the Bonanza, the Baron has a myriad of variants since it was introduced – each with unique performance and styling points. Today, the Baron is an all-around winner for capability. Beechcraft Bonanza PISTONS Overview Beechcraft has been producing this iconic high-performance, complex airplane since 1947 – talk about a legacy. The “35” Bonanza was introduced with a revolutionary v-tail design which afforded increased efficiency over traditional t-tail designs, not to mention that iconic good look. Beechcraft continued to refine the v-tail until eventually launching the “33” Bonanza with a traditional t-tail design and eventually the most Specifications popular – “36” Bonanza that is still produced today. Modern Bonanza’s are typically equipped with either 4 or 6 seats inside of the roomy interior. The Bonanza is a fantastic weekend traveler with the ability to load the whole family inside and operate at a low cost. The Bonanza stands as a legacy in general aviation and continues to offer one of the best flying experiences for both pilot and passengers. Cirrus SR22 PISTONS Overview Cirrus began pushing the boundaries of a stagnant industry in 1984 with innovative designs for the future of personal piston and jet aircraft. In 1995 Cirrus released the SR20 – a 4 seat, low wing single engine aircraft that was designed to mimic the comfort of a luxury sedan. The SR20 was modified in 2000 to create the high-performance SR22 with a larger wing, larger fuel tank, and substantially higher Specifications performance. Since 2002 the SR22 has held the record for top-selling production aircraft in general aviation. Cirrus has attributed much of its success to industry-leading safety features including the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Today, variants of the popular airplane are the entry-level SR20, the high-performance SR22 and a turbocharged version called the SR22T. Cessna TTx PISTONS Overview The Cessna 400 (TTx) was originally designed in 2004 by Columbia Aircraft prior to being acquired by Cessna in 2007. The TTx holds the record for the fastest production single-engine piston with a fixed gear and it is well-deserved. Having the landing gear permanently down creates a large amount of drag but offers an enhanced safety benefit – eliminating the possibility of landing gear failures. The TTx is a direct competitor of the venerable Cirrus SR22 and the TTx does carry some strong advantages. The build Specifications construction is superior to that of the Cirrus which is evident in its structural limitations, which are greater than the Cirrus. It is equipped with Garmin G2000 avionics, a speed brake, and optional flight into known icing (FIKI). The TTx is a great solution for those looking for speed without sacrificing sedan-style comfort. Cessna previously produced the Cessna Corvalis 400 TT, the predecessor to the TTx, with previous version avionics and interior styling. Diamond DA62 PISTONS Overview It has been many years since any aircraft manufacturer has tinkered with the piston multi. In an age where fuel costs are unpredictable and the cost to maintain two engines outweighs the added safety cushion, Diamond Aircraft took on the challenge with the DA62. The DA62 has seven seats and unlike its competition, it can actually carry that weight. With full tanks, the DA62 can still lug 1,004 lbs. over 900 miles in long range setting – that Specifications is remarkable. Diamond’s most substantive improvement is the introduction of the Astra engines that sip economical (and available) Jet A fuel at a rate lower than most high- performance piston singles. Add the single lever FADEC throttle, auto- feather, and Garmin G1000NXi avionics and you have a truly impressive airplane. Priced new, the Diamond is only slightly more than a comparable single-engine piston. Diamond has truly made the twin competitive again. Mooney M20U / M20V PISTONS Overview Mooney has always felt that their airplanes should go fast – really, really fast. The small, Texas-based manufacturer has set numerous world speed records since their founding

The GFC 700 AFCS, like most autoflight systems, includes both a flight director (FD) and an autopilot (AP). The FD calculates the pitch and bank angles needed to fly the desired course, heading, altitude, speed, etc., that the pilot has programmed. It then displays these angles on the primary flight display (PFD) using magenta command bars. The pilot can follow the desired flight path by manipulating the control wheel to align the yellow aircraft symbol with the command bars. Alternately, the pilot can activate the AP, which uses servos to adjust the elevators, ailerons, and elevator trim as necessary to follow the command bars. Controls The AFCS is activated and programmed using buttons on the left bezel of the PFD and the multifunction display (MFD).

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

Used Aircraft Guide Maintenance Matters Accessories Although airplanes are often sold as Misc. business and transportation tools, the reality of ownership falls short of the ideal. They either lack the range, the carrying capacity or the ability to deal with real-world weather, thus an airline or a charter outfit gets the call. Still, there are plenty of pilot/businessmen who couldn’t function without an airplane.

A speeds. Pressurization is an added plus. serious business airplane needs a decent cabin, credible speed and the ability to hack it when there’s ice or thunder in the forecast. Pressurization is nice since the clients don’t want to spend several hours with a plastic hose stuck up their noses. Enter the Cessna 340. Owners looking to step-up from a high-performance single will inevitably make a pass or two through the 340 classified section. And well they should. Although not without its shortcomings—most notably certain loading limitations and an overly complex fuel system—the 340 is nevertheless an impressive, flexible and capable airplane that meets the business mission well and can do double duty as a family airplane. Model History The 340 owes its existence to the boom days of general aviation during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
