500m if you are in current practice. Best to have a bit more for your first few hours. The aeroplane will float if you come in too fast. Depending on the prop the take off is quite spritely. Mine has...

Yes it's the same old story the last two seats are there just for show. I have a twin comanche which is really only a four place aeroplane or a three seater if you fill the tanks. But you can go a...

Can vouch for the H10 13.4. It's a really good passive (non ANR) headset. Active noise reduction is good but it will almost double the cost of a new headset. I am guessing that some of the other...
