But the 40+ year old training equipment that we have in this region is a bit of risk probably.
Probably no more than a one year old plane, which has yet to demonstrate it's vices, and is being maintained by well meaning people with no maintenance background on type.
Three days ago, I did a one hour prepurchse/preflight inspection of a very nice C182RG. I put my wife in, and flew it 2000 miles across the United States, and into Canada, to it's new home. As I flew along, I reminded myself that this was a 32 year old aircraft, and here I was thinking it was "new" from my perspective. It's 6 years newer than either of my planes, and was built 5 years after I got my PPL - who's old?
