I'd been attempting to find a C162 purchaser for some time, so this is awesome timing as I need to discover what is drawing present, authorized private pilots to the Cessna Model 162 Skycatcher. A decent companion came back from EAA's 2007 Airventure Oshkosh Airshow holding conveyance position #426 on the new Cessna Light Sport Aircraft, and he as of late disclosed his choice to purchase a "LSA" now.
At 78.5 years youthful, Fresno pilot John Pugliese has amassed 7,000 hours in a pilot profession that has included responsibility for Fairchild PT-23, a Cessna 120 and his current feathered creature, a 1952 Cessna 170. After a heart assault in the mid '90s, Pugliese should now experience extra investigation every time he is re-issued a second rate class medicinal card. Keeping in mind he has great wellbeing today to flies with a FAA restorative card, he realizes that may not be the situation until the end of time. "I'm trusting that Cessna can convey my Skycatcher before the day comes when the therapeutic card can't be re-issued."
I'm sure Pugliese is by all account not the only "senior" private pilot who is taking a gander at Light Sport airplane as a kind of "workaround" to current FAA medicinal guidelines. Furthermore, as a refresher, let me go along what the FAA says in regards to the subject of Sport Pilot medicals.
Game Pilot permitting tenets require either a second rate class FAA restorative authentication or a present and legitimate U.S. driver's permit as proof of restorative qualification (gave the individual's latest application for a FAA therapeutic endorsement was not denied, repudiated, suspended or withdrawn). So the length of a pilot can move into a LSA before he/she is denied, all is well and great. On the other hand, once FAA takes that card away, those denied pilots can't utilize a driver's permit in lieu of the therapeutic card.
As an accomplished pilot, Pugliese picked the Skycatcher for various reasons. "The primary thing was the pressure driven brakes" he said. "I'm an old taildragger driver from route back, and some of the time you need to very nearly bolt up one wheel to keep things straight. Also, nothing against Rotax, yet I like that Cessna is placing Continentals in the Skycatcher, since it will be anything but difficult to discover administration across the nation on that motor. I additionally like that I will have the capacity to get parts through a built Cessna merchant system. What's more, at a little more than five feet tall, I'm upbeat the Skycatcher's rudder pedals are flexible. The plane fits me fine, and is truly an extraordinary looking plane!"
As a fruitful agent, Pugliese realizes that the $109,000 base cost will move before conveyance day. A statement in the Cessna contract considers typical cost for basic items increments and with California deals charge that he says is an amazing nine percent, John anticipates that the Skycatcher will come in at around $140,000 without wheel jeans or a ballistic chute. He expects that when Cessna conveys the 162, the Garmin G300 board will improve, as flight dependably do.
Primary concern: John Pugliese is one of those more seasoned pilots we all love...nice as can be, valid to his kindred pilots, and continually willing to take a youthful child traveling to start their inside flames. When he gets the Skycatcher, it'll make an impeccable stage to serve his central goal profile, which is to jab gaps in the sky while changing over fossilized dinosaurs into height to pursue down the tricky air terminal cheeseburger.
