- In this interview with Adam Sipe, I cover the basics of owning and operating a Cessna 310. As a General Aviation (GA) evangelist, I hope to raise awareness with the general public on the viability of GA aircraft for regular commuting and family trips. While this concept is not new to baby boomers, the thought of using small aircraft to commute to work is not engrained in generation X or Millennials. Another purpose of this video is to highlight that GA aircraft can provide a viable alternative to commercial air travel. BTW, The cap is slipping indeed slipping forward, bad fit - LOL.Cheers!!

"Owning an aircraft is pricy on the ground. But priceless in the air."
Perfect quote for aviation lovers, very nice!!
Navy guy here too. Still active, not a pilot. But I’m looking to get into owning an airplane one day. Thank you for your video.
These go for around $300k. All those upgrades probably $70k-$140k. Cheaper than a diamond DA62 and more adventureristic quality. Damn. These things are built solid.
So happy to see you are following your dreams and passion, much love to you young man!!❤️🙏🇺🇸
Clearly, based on your attitude, rather than your background, your opinions regarding training are remarkable. I see too many military and airline pilots that fail to have your view. Excellent ownership advice/experience video.
That was a welcome, thorough, real world overview. Thank you. BTW, my dad had a 310Q I used for my multi. N69648. Great memories!
Great memories indeed. Thanks for watching. Stay safe!!
Thank you for a very good video and explaining the true cost. YOU have a very nice airplane. I look forward to more of your videos..
Wow! Listening to you reminds me of my stepdad. Great memories
Love that plane and you seem to maintain it very well. Great talk. Well done!
Excellent detailed annual breakdown on unit cost.
You are sharp in breaking the costs and all up keep done. As a retired A&P and so many GA owners try to cut costs and then to catch up on repairs as it snowballs. Thanks for the video.
Loved this video. You explained the cost of ownership in detail which is much appreciated. Thank you for being such a GA advocate.
You are very informative, also like your style and demeanor. Thanks for a lot of good information. Safe flying!
Great video! Very informative and well presented!
GREAT STUFF! Thanks for posting
A total pro, appreciate you.
really enjoyed your flying going to keep following you i love flying thxx brother
Great airplane, great explanation, thank you. Blessings
You have a beautiful airplane!
Great info, thank you for sharing
Very nice Shipmate!! I would love to learn to fly when I retire. Thanks for the video.
Thank you shipmate!! Glad to have you onboard. Cheers!!
Great presentation. How about a update on your 4 year restoration plan.
The update is on the way. In short, 70 percent complete. Video later this year after avionics update. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Skymaster is a cool airplane. Always was. Still is..! 😊 The early rare 336 (lighter) was a rip-snorter for '64 days - excel initial climb..!
Great speaking voice
Very nice
Do you ever come back down to Charleston. I fly the Da40 out of CHS. If you are ever back in town, we should link up.
Strip the back interior, update the tech at the controls, add seaplane floats. Give it a nice paint job. Boom; my dream airplane. Not my dream aircraft though. That'd be the F35
Very interesting! Fly safe! The dream (Sky King) airplane I’ll never own…I’m a Sport Pilot and fly a fun 1946 Aeronca Champ 7AC, 65-hp, hand prop.
It'd look perfect
Always love looking at your videos. You mentioned Baron and 310...did you consider the Aztec and if so why not the Aztec? It is slower than the Baron and 310 but has a good load and good single engine performance. Not as good looking either...
Yes, I did consider platforms from Piper also. The Baron (55, 58) and Cessna 310 (P,Q, R) were better performers overall. OEI at 250FPM at sea level is tops in class and both Baron and 310 can achieve. As for as load capacity, the Baron and 310 allow better load capacity by trading fuel for weight. Thanks for watching!!
@@billinga Thanks for the update.
Hello Arthur : your clip encourages me , think I want to fly now,. You look familiar. DMT The Heir Church😊
Gotta ask, did you take the “3:10 To Yuma”?😀
LOL, love it, but No. However, I did take the 310 to Phoenix!!
@@billinga Casa Grande has a lovely airport. It’s a gem.
Why does owning an aircraft cost so much money?
Can I train on a jet instead of a prop..I know there's a difference. But wondering.
Yes but very expensive
What is your training background did u fly in the navy?
No, engineer in Navy and civilian pilot. Here is more of the story --> www.cessnaflyer.org/magazines/item/download/457_68eaf3e9200a212bd03486cbd2b11d5c.html
@@billinga That's a great story love it .....well done my friend an inspiration to many of us for sure .....thank you for sharing - Luis 🇨🇦👍🏼
That’s an expensive commute! Beautiful plane though!
Indeed, flying privately is not the most economical choice in some applications. But it has shown to be most viable choice in some small market/short leg options.

Those insurance rates are certainly not 2023 lol
indeed, insurance is now $3500 per year for $1M smooth.
You're a Mike Busch guy but not running LOP? Pfft
Yep.risk management and condition based maintenance. LOP has few benefits and more risks. But if done correctly, is a reasonable approach. For my panel, better instrumentation and I would run LOP. Thanks for watching and stay safe!!
Owning an aircraft means another freedom, a peace of mind, renting an aircraft comes with some stresses. But that costs
