Aircraft Hire Recomendations for Long trip.
Hi,
Im not far away from getting my PPL (on the way to CPL), and i want to surprise some family by flying down to visit them.
Plan was to fly from Archerfield to Dubbo (stay overnight), then to Port Pirie.
Then fly back in the reverse order.
Im researching the best aircraft to hire for this run.
A high cruise speed would be great (less engine & flight time), but its got to balance with the hire costs.
The Cessna 182 turbo RG have a nice cruise speed of about 180 (if anyone actually hires them out), but I would like to hear from you more experienced pilots what you would recommend.
I was consider hiring directly from an aircraft owner, but thought first i would work out which aircraft would be most suitable & affordable. Then try an negotiate a deal with an owner.
Look forward to your replies.
