Great footage. That lady in Sligo is always so helpful. Smooth RT with a lovely transit. Last time I was in SP you and Tony were there in GSM. The strip was mowed the bare width of the mains. Great piloting skills.
Enjoyed that. What age was that AC? The avionics panel looked like it had been updated unlike some of the 60yo ex-Iona crocs still used by some flying schools. Knock looked like it had quite a few Aer Friendly Airbuses on the ramp.
Hi Oceanfroggie, the plane is a Cessna 182s it was born in 1999. Good spot on the panel, it was upgraded a few years back with 3 new instruments. It now has a new engine and prop.
Oh she’s young. Pristine looking 182. Well cared for. Enjoy. Hard to grasp there’s more control zones these days than just Dublin, Shannon, cork and balldonnell back in the day. Fond memories of Arthur knife edge Harp Pitts after TO on the old rwy 24 at DW
I live in Sligo. My question is what is the maximum service ceiling of this plane and whats the maximum distance this plane can safely cover without having to refuel?
@@rezamalik9189 Hi. The Cessna 182s apparently can climb up to 18000 feet, not that I could go that high! They say it can fly for 6 hours at around 250kph, on the other hand I can last about 2-3 hours without stopping!
