When PA-46 piston drivers asks me about the operational costs of a turbine PA-46, I tell them the cost associated with a turbine on a comparative-trip-basis are very similar to operating a piston.  But, I always include one caveat…turbines are cheap to operate as long as the pilot doesn’t do stupid things.  Stupid in a…

Circuit Breaker Collars

PA-46 Airframe systems

Here’s a super idea that was presented to me by Tim (anonymous) to cheaply and accurately identify important circuit breakers in your PA-46.  Certain circuit breakers need identification since they are the ones that are critical to flight. Here’s a few that I’d label in a PA-46: HYD PUMP: If you have a landing gear…
