Before I start. Yes I am one of those guys. Flame away. About a year ago my startup was acquired and my personal finances changed dramatically. A life long boyhood fantasy of mine has been to own an airplane and I am now in a position to make this possible.
About me: 150hr VFR PPL. I am currently working on my instrument rating. Most of my experience is in PA-28 and C172SP. Lately I've been doing my instrument training in a G1000 equipped DA40. I have have a little flight time in a C182T, SR22 and SR20. I even have an hour or two in a separate log book in a R22 helicopter.
I'm looking to buy a 2004-2007 G1000 C182T or Avidyne SR22. I'd like some feedback. I'm based in the Bay Area and the missions will be flying to wine country, family beach house in Santa Cruz, Tahoe summer and occasionally in the winter, LA, Reno, Burning Man, Pacific Northwest. Maybe a cross continent flight or a flight to Alaska.
C182
Pros: I'm not scared of flying it. Low stall and landing speed. Roomy. High useful load. Will recover from a flat spin. More economical fuel consumption. Lower maintenance and insurance cost. G1000 avionics.
Cons: Higher initial cost. Slow. More susceptible to cross winds and turbulence. No TKS. No CAPS. No oxygen ( can be added later ). Must deal with constant speed prop ( ie blue knob ).
SR22
Pros: Fast. Very clean airframe handles cross winds like a dream. High useful load. CAPS. TKS. Oxygen. Looks sexy as shit.
Cons: Fast. Scares me a little to fly it ( I'm sure I'll get over it with experience ). High stall speed. High landing speed. Higher maintenance cost ( servicing CAPS every ten years is 10-18k ). Higher insurance cost. I think the flat spin recovery procedure is to deploy CAPS.
