    We had a Lance for ten years. We liked how roomy it was with forward and aft baggage allowance totaling 200 lbs. We got about 155 knots true at 66% power and 16.5 gph. We ran 75 degrees rick of peak. It was dependable and easy to work on and we did owner assisted annuals for a very reasonable price. Non owners can't appreciate how great it is to load the wife and pets and be airborne in ten minutes without going thru security etc. Pilots who say retractable gear is expensive, don't know what they are talking about for this Piper product. Airplanes are so very expensive now in fall of 2022. I like the fact the Saratoga glides farther than the Lance but they start at 250k. I believe you all made a wise decision.

    If you're happy with the airplane, you made the right choice and judging by the excitement and enthusiasm in your video, you most definitely did. I hope you get thousands of hours of use from your new plane.

    Piper turbo saratoga is hands down the best single engine piston you can get to do almost everything. Improved wing and traditional location stabilator. At least you can actually get two people across in the back of the lance, a bonanza is a joke!

    Great pick! We've got G5s on the agenda for our Lance II as well. Also, our Altimatic IIIc is still doing great work for us, hoping it'll hold on til our pocketbook can recover from a nearing engine overhaul and original 1978 interior refurb. Looking forward to more Lance content and maybe seeing y'all in Memphis next year for the PA32 fly in.

    • @BroPilots
      @BroPilots  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We're super happy with the G5s and the GFC500 AP! And yes, we're excited about the fly-in; we weren't able to make it this past year but will try and make it for the next one!

  • @Vejitasei
    @Vejitasei 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am actually looking at this exact model as my first plane. The problem is I don't know my mission and the 6 seater with huge cargo doors sounds great for bikes, skies, camping gear, small scooter. But 99%+ of the time will be flying alone, so thinking a 182 (vs T182 vs 182RG vs T182RG) might be better. But the gotcha is the 182's cost as much as the Lance. I can see how with two pilots and two families this bird makes a lot of sense.

    I've had my Piper Turbo Lance since 1998, so what does that tell you? Still have my Altimatic IIIC AP. why? Because it works just fine although i want an excuse to get the Garmin 500AP and 2 of the G5's. Has Garmin 530W and GPSS roll steering which makes the AP 10 times better. altitude hold works fine. Anyway, great airplane, roomy and a great cross country bird. Enjoy. Remember, you have to have 75lbs ballast in aft baggage area if you just have pilot and or co-pilot, otherwise nose heavy and difficult to land the thing. With alot of weight in back, it cruises and lands so much better.

    Way to work that last landing..nice plane! Can you tell that much difference during take off and landing with the T tail?

    • @BroPilots
      @BroPilots  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, the takeoff roll is significantly longer than a straight tail (we need about 1700-1800 feet with margins for takeoff), and you have to be careful to make sure you’re trimmed right for landing. Definitely takes a bit of planning!

    Hey Bro's - Wanted to see if you have any advice on nailing landings on the T-Tail Lance. I'm picking one up on Monday and am a little apprehensive about the first few landings. I flew a T-Tail Arrow for 7 years so I should be a little ahead of the curve but the additional size/weight/speed will be a whole new ballgame. Any help is appreciated. Thx!

    • @BroPilots
      @BroPilots  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For some planes, especially ones with retractable landing gear, insurance company’s require you to fly with an instructor for a certain number of hours before they will let you fly solo and still be covered. You can just fly anyways, but if something happens, you’ll be liable for all of the damages.

    Ok so I have considered a T tail lance, how big of a difference is the T tail on landings ? Is insurance higher for the T tail? Thx

    • @BroPilots
      @BroPilots  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No real big difference on the landings. Take off, however, requires significantly longer takeoff roll. We normally require 1500-1700 ft to rotate, but on a hot summer day, fully loaded, high density altitude, it can take 2000 ft to rotate.
