Wow, that was close! Only six thousand feet of runway remaining!

How is noise level inside?

Thanks!

The G58 is a great plane. It's to soon to estimate annual costs but I can tell you that if you want to go fast ( 200kts ) you'll burn about 20-22 GPH per side. That's ROP so just fuel can run about $270 per hour. You can also run LOP at about 185-190 Kts and burn 9-10GPH per side or $120 per hour. Big difference.

Thanks for the info! How big a hit was the insurance when you moved up into a twin, and was it a struggle to get insurance? Thanks for the info.

@Keitexas, congrats on the G58! It's been a while since you picked it up, how do you like it? Also, I was wondering if you might be able to estimate the annual costs of ownership... the G58 is a dream of mine that is closer to becoming a reality, but I know no real 58 pilots. What are your impressions?

Work hard, stay in school, and vote Republican so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor :)

@keitexas Haha, thanks! And if you sell either your G58 or G36, please let me know and lets see if we can work out something. Just a heads-up!
