Yes.
That's not what I was referring to. I used to be able to correlate an inch on my sectional to a given swath of land below. What I discovered, while exclusively using my iPad over the course of a round trip between Chicago and Houston is that there is no correlation between an inch on my iPad and anything... because an inch can be anything. I no longer had an intake innate sense of scale, and I found it vaguely disorienting.
It's a small drawback, but a drawback never the less. Also, quick access to the legend and the tower/frequency tab are points for paper.
That said, I love having Garmin pilot in my iPad, and a GDL-50 receiver paired to it. I download the briefing for my planned flight, but let's face it, I was traveling with my 3 year old. Planning is a loose term. 45 minutes into my three plus hour leg, someone has to go potty. No big deal, compare fuel prices at the logical choices, pull up the NOTAMs, I'm covered.
Add to it the compete A/FD and US Terminal Procedures... I'm not willingly giving up my iPad. That doesn't mean that I can't find paper to be superior in some respects.

I’d love to. I’m frequently flying my parents, though, and my mother is scared to death or anything with one engine. I’m stuck looking only at multis.

Single pilot jet or something like a King Air?

If you need a financially reality check on which multi turbine to buy you know where to reach me

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
You guys have ruined my happy little thread. [emoji17]

Since @SlumTodd_Millionaire and others are ganging up on @bLizZuE. I'd just like to add that I prefer manual transmissions to automatics. It's a preference.

No one will challenge that, because they'd be wrong, on an Sbarro's level.

Likely looking at either a straight wing Citation or an MU-2. Gotta get the plane sold first. And close on my new house.
Would she prefer a plane with 0 engines.....? Unless Mom is paying for the plane does it really matter.... ;-)

That was my exact thought lol. Yes, I could have experienced an easier purchasing process and yes, I could have a mindless driving experience with an automatic, but I chose to deal with all the difficulties of a manual so Imma just shut my mouth.
(the exception being high performance/turbine aircraft, those cats need to be with the program, stuff happens too fast to be fumbling with charts, most especially single pilot)

You guys are talking stick shifts, and here I am wanting to go Tesla because I think even automatics are becoming archaic.

Just take the Tesla to the Sbarro's drive through and it will cancel out.

Or a Fazolis. Possibly the only place worse than Sbarro.
