  • Just the info I was looking for on the PA-46 Malibu

    Such a great show for those looking at the PA-46 as an option. There is so much to consider when considering whether the upgrade to one of the variants is in order and Joe’s show really goes through all the questions I have had so far. Would definitely recommend!

  • Joe Casey is very informative

    I have now listened to all of Joe’s podcasts (they keep coming though!). Several I’ve listened to more than once … intentionally! He has a smooth and positive style that makes you feel like you know him. He seems candid with his thoughts and is clearly very knowledgeable about his topics.

    I am a Cirrus owner who would like to jump to the PA46 one day soon. Listening to Joe’s podcasts has helped me to understand the process and learn much more about the steps to accomplish my goals.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: Vacuum, Pressurization, KFC 150 Approach Logic & ATC Routing
Q: Would you spend money on a new windshield or a new GFC autopilot?
I would absolutely choose the GFC autopilot.
Q&A: Vacuum, Pressurization, KFC 150 Approach Logic & ATC Routing
Q: Why do I have to activate Vectors to Final on the GTN 750 for the KFC 150 to capture the glide slope?
Because the KFC 150 needs a new navigational reference to adjust its flight path, activating Vectors to Final allows the autopilot to follow the GPS path correctly and capture the glide slope.
Q&A: Vacuum, Pressurization, KFC 150 Approach Logic & ATC Routing
Q: If I'm at 15,000 feet and lose the number one vacuum, should I pull the depressurization knob once I'm at a safe altitude or wait until I'm about 500 to a thousand feet above the destination airport elevation?
You will feel a change when you lose vacuum, as the outflow valve will be closed. However, you will still benefit from the safety mechanisms in place.
PA46 Versus Series: Mirage vs. JetPROP
Q: What are your key factors when deciding between a Mirage and a JetPROP?
Budget is a primary consideration, with preferences leaning towards JetPROP for its performance.
Q&A: Gear-Up Prevention, Smart Descent Strategies, and the PA-46 Market
Q: Is it unwise to pursue a turbine given the 18,000-foot altitude limit under basic med?
Joe Casey suggests pursuing a turbine as there are plenty of aircraft available that are appropriate under basic med, emphasizing the need for a good relationship with your AME as they can guide you through medical regulations.
