C182 or 172
Hello all, I am looking for some advice, I am new here so be gentle!
I am considering my first aircraft and am fairly concerned about running costs not hourly but in terms of annuals and major failures.
I have a fair experience of C172s' but none of the C182. I wish to fly out of the southern part of the UK generally with fairly frequent trips in Europe.
I hold an IR and have the intention of flying IFR often as I will be using the aircraft to get me to clients for my business. This leans me to the 182 rather than the 172 as it will run a bit faster and a bit higher I believe.I just wondered if anyone with more experience of owning or operating either of the a/c could offer some advice on the matter or indeed if anyone else thinks I should be considering an alternative to these two I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks
