    That is the absolute best time to fly. The day is ending, you have daylight to preflight and start the flight while ending with a night landing. It's like dessert after a steak dinner. Nothing beats flying at the end of the day.

    Thanks for the great ride! I’m 69 and the 310 has been my absolute dream machine since being addicted to Penny and her uncle , you-know-who all those years ago.. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks! Hopefully someday I’ll actually ride in one. My MS Flight Simulator 2020 310R is as close as I’ve ever gotten.

    Another nice flight and a textbook landing in Manassas,VA. I love night flights with all the lights and scenery. Loved the airport lighting. Approach lights and runway lighting. If you can afford to own your own plane travel becomes much easier and less stressful. Like the cockpit configuration as well. You seem to be a very experienced pilot and handle the 310 very nicely!

    • @billinga
      @billinga  Před 6 lety

      Robert, thank you for the comment and for watching. I still question the utility of these videos but if folks like them, I will continue to post. I am available to answer questions as you move toward a decision As for the C310, I have thoroughly enjoyed owning this platform. If you have not seen this interview, please watch for my perspective czcams.com/video/5mO23NYMt_I/video.html
      The first down select was based on useful load and performance. That left the Baron, C-210 and the C-310. Then came the analysis of purchase price and maintenance costs. There are some nuances involved in comparing Centurian(C-210), Baron (B-55/58) and the Songbird (C-310). A comparably equipped Baron in the same/similar year as a Songbird was hard to find/compare at that time. My purchase budget dictated a look at 1972-1976 for model review. However, because the Baron has been in continuous production, it gets a plus in maintenance. The downselect for the Baron came because of the cockpit arrangement. I am just not a fan.
      For my new role/mission, the choice came down to the Centuarian(c-210) or the Songbird (C-310). Given the market at the time, late model 210s and 310Rs were trading at a premium(>$120K). While maintenace costs are considerably more for a twin than single, the useful load, slightly better performance (310Q) and system redundancy(safety) were worth the difference. I settled on the 310Q as my desired platform to fulfill my flying needs and budget(

    Beautiful airplane! How difficult is it to work in the SFRA as a general aviation pilot?

    • @billinga
      @billinga  Před 5 lety

      Thanks for watching. The rules for operating in the SFRA are similar to VFR Flight following or IFR. There is a predetermined route of flight and an assigned transponder code. Thats it. Call up tower, hand off to departure and exit. FAA publishes lots of details to cover what if. Go to the FAA site and get the information, take the informal test and you are ready. Stay safe!!

      Currently the STEC 30A is not working well and basically hand flying. Less convenient but building more piloting skills along the way. THanks for watching!!

    Sir, please stay right where you are! We are sending out the Men in Black to your location. We noticed in your video that at least 2 times you went through a "transferal hyperdymensic speed warp". Everything around you sped up, one woman was walking so fast that her jeans caught on fire and another was eating a burger and missed her mouth completely! Aliens Sir, it's Aliens!

      Agreed, the safest, most professional pilots, keep emergencies in memory then revert to checklists, and everything else is a checklist, no matter if you could fly the plane blind. It's the ones that rely on memory that aren't alive anymore or very, very lucky, to share their flights. Always use your checklists. Because the one time you miss one item, it maybe your last.

      @@rexdagostino6954 Drex, C310 is 1974 with 4825 on the airframe and 1520 on both engines. Engines are still strong and I employ Mike Busch approach to overhaul. Compressions are low 70s and engines use 1 quart per 8 hours, no metal in filters, and spectral analysis remains consistent. So probably another 2-3 years on these motors. Glad to assist,

    Good video. I saw the cost of ownership video. 60-75k a yr. Ouch!!!! You must get paid $130-150k a yr at your job, to own and maintain this. Not to mention a mi,Italy retirement check of probably $45-55k/yr.

    • @billinga
      @billinga  Před 6 lety +1

      Was the cost of ownership video PreBuy Guys? For the Cessna C310, flying 100 hours per year, fixed costs approx $16,700 and variable costs of $12,000 for a total of $28,700 all in. This is a higher than average cost across the current surveyed C310 fleet. Owners and operators make adjustments to lower these incurred costs. Actual costs could be lower depending on owner assist annual maintenance. At any rate, not cheap but can be managed when used in the operation of a business. Stay safe and thanks for watching.

    I gotta ask. Who pays for the airplane. You personally or the ministry? If you then you are doing a great service for the church, if the ministry then I assume they are ok with all the costs involved because they are
    substantial. I find it difficult to believe that flying a twin as far as you do, would be less than flying commercially. I know many ministries have one, two or even three jet aircraft available for use and that a few train the minister on how to fly them. But to say they are more economic than flying commercially? I do t know about that. But. It's the ministries responsibility t be the steward of their own finances.

      Interesting question and I and others have addressed this as it relates to general aviation. In short, general aviation has an advantage in small/mid markets and less and 500 miles distance.
