Advanced Aircraft Fleet

The Advanced fleet consists of those airplanes requiring more than an initial private pilot certificate to fly. Technically, the Champ falls into this category also, but we have it listed under 2-place trainers. In this category are two Skylanes, one of which has a turbocharged engine, that require a High Performance endorsement. These are four-place aircraft that are great for cross countries. Also here is the Centurion, a turbo-charged, retractable, high-performance aircraft seating four adults and two children that requires both a Complex and a High Performance endorsement.

Cessna 182S Skylane

The Skylanes are very good cross-country machines that can easily carry four people and a full load of fuel for long distances.

For more information, see the WikiPedia article on the Skylane.

Beechcraft B24R Sierra

The Beechcraft Sierra is a retractable version of the Beechcraft Sundowner. It offers a very good panel, and is perfect for both commercial training and long cross countries. The cabin is extremely wide and comfortable, and the nine windows offer excellent visibility, and sometimes lead to it being mistaken for a Bonanza on the ramp.  The low-wing design offers a good view of the runway in the pattern.

Cessna T210H Turbo Centurion

The Cessna T210 Centurion is a turbo-charged, retractable, high-performance aircraft seating four adults (and two children) that requires both a Complex and a High Performance endorsement. It is an excellent, fast cross country machines. Like the Turbo Skylane, it has built-in oxygen, and flies very well in the mid-teens.
