182 to 337 transition; wise?

[WebMaster]

I was a low time single engine pilot when I bought my Skymaster ( <150 hrs). It was an easy transition. The biggest difference will be speeds. My neighbor has a 182, and I rode with him, one day. I was very concerned when we turned base, to final, and watched the Air Speed indicator on the south side of 80. I fly base at 110.

The gear will be different, but you already are comfortable with a constant speed prop. The speeds are the big difference.

You will need a ME rating. There are several people who have done it in the Skymaster. I chose to go to a 'school', in TX, and got it out of the way. Insurance will require the ME.
