G1000 Cessna 206 Turbo: MLB - OPF

[n654pd]

@RadioBull Sounds like the stall horn chirping. Why is that a "hopefully not"? During rotation on a windy day, the stall tab is very easily moved.

[flyingboy971]

what Altitude was u at?

[n654pd]

@flyingboy971 Between six and eight thousand.

Nice vid, thanks

[youngestpilotinGa]

if you dont mind answering a quick question how much different control wise cockpit load is this from a 172 thanks!

[skysurfer0805]

hi, how much would you pay for this plane if you got it for rental somewhere over in FL ?? ive flown about 70 hours in the c172 with g1000 around florida while i was building time for my ATPL

[n654pd]

@skysurfer0805 This plane isn't a rental-- but the only place I saw one for rent was somewhere in Orlando I believe.  I don't think it's for rent anymore, but I recall the price was around $250/hr. Not sure though, was probably around two years ago.

I have flown a cessna 206 turbo and what a beautiful plane it is!! i love it so much! now i just need 500k to buy my own :D haha

[n654pd]

Start savin' up! =]

[runway03]

very good video, greetings from brazil.

[Point432]

how much does a turbo 206 cost per month you figure. is insurance good compared to other planes in its price range? hangar space probably can im sure be found cheap. i like that cessna puts hourly operating cost on their site, so that helps give me an idea.

[n654pd]

It's going to all depend heavily on how often you fly, how much experience you have, and how you operate the aircraft if you want to meet the TBO.

[Point432]

yeah...i figured that it would depend on how much it is flown. i have around 1200TT...im a CFII as well. i don't think it would be too bad. it would be for business use too.

Hi, nice flight and nice aircraft! I would like to know how was your MP/RPM settings to deliver only 122kt indicated. What fuel flow did you get at those settings and speed?

[n654pd]

Hi Tici,

In the same shot, you can see the settings were at 26/23. Indicated airspeed doesn't really mean much when it comes to power settings or fuel flow at cruise. The true airspeed at such a low altitude looks to be about 135 with a groundspeed nearing 150. This works out to 15 or so gallons per hour.

[soseg]

@n654pd over squaring the engine?

[n654pd]

Soseg,

The aircraft is turbocharged, and this is also a common powersetting for efficiency/performance. YouTube wont let me post a link, but search Google for "avweb oversquare" -- it should be the first result.

[soseg]

@n654pd ahk i wouldnt know then if u can oversquare a turbo'd engine... i just fly n/a 182s

[juanio78]

Superb landing.

[Spec62]

Couldn't fully determine what altitude you were flying? 6k/7k?

[n654pd]

Currently on the road with a painfully slow internet connection. Can't look through the video to find out and the flightaware data isn't showing up. I'll look into it in a few days when home.

[n654pd]

Forgot about this comment. Looks like it was 8,000 initially, then down to 6.

[Gionix]

Very nice VFR day!!! really good video!!! Congrats!!

[stevenmorabu]

The landing is one of the best i've ever seen

[DODwebdotorg]

Awesome plane, and great landing =)

[alduncine]

nose heavy 206. great landing as the stall horn indicated. how many NM? in how much time? true speed?

[n654pd]

Sorry for the delay in the reply, YouTube didn't alert me to new comments. It's about 130nm from MLB-OPF, though our routing took us over towards Okeechobee and then back to OPF. Off the top of my head, it was probably 45 minutes from takeoff to touchdown, with a true airpseed between 140-160kts..

[jmr604]

It's nose heavy empty... but put a few passengers in the back, it's rides pretty good... even at max gross.. it's still great to fly.

Mustang2005:

The answer to your question is no. Instead of using a BOV, they use DV's. Similar to the ones found in Volkswagen 2.0 FSI series engines.

[mustang2005]

Does it have a BOV?

[mustang2005]

Ahhh...

[n654pd]

Oops, sorry, meant automatic waste gate.

Sweet landing

Sweet video once again!
