03/09/2022		237RJ	5	5	5	5	27803	This Cirrus is a superb aircraft for cross country flying VFR and IFR. With its Turbo-Engine (witch is easy to handle - thanks to its Turbo-Normalized Tornado Alley System) you can go to any high altitude airport without any hassle.
02/23/2022		465DS	5	5	5	5	9207	Really good plane, with the G1000 and GFC700 AP, great cross-country, and great TAS. The owner also is really friendly
02/20/2022		7577N	5	5	5	5	42735	Aaron goes above and beyond any other owner I have dealt with renting in P1. His attention to detail is incredible. This airplane is remarkably clean (as in, not dirty) compared to other planes I've flown in the club. It's got all the trimmings in the interior, and is a joy to fly. 77N has been cared for dearly, and renting it is not your typical club rental experience. I'll be back for more.
05/01/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	This plane got some upgraded avionics recently and they did an amazing job. It is a fun plane to fly and the recessed G5’s are super awesome. The owner is also very responsive and super cool.
05/01/2021		8148F	5	5	5	5	13208	This is one of my favorite airplanes in the fleet. Tom takes really good care of the plane and he keeps people informed about everything. The plane flies really nicely, is super fast and very fun. I highly recommend getting your Cirrus checkout.
05/01/2021		44886	5	5	5	4	13380	This plane was just added to the Club fleet and it is really nice. Looks like they re-did the interior recently and the paint is really pretty. It flies well and the engine is strong.
05/21/2021		5396E	2	2	2	3	12992	This plane needs a lot of TLC, it feels unloved and neglected. Things like the big hole in the ceiling upholstery, loose switches, loose seats... it leaves you with an uneasy feeling about the general safety of the machine and a depressing feeling about the overall state and exorbitant cost of ancient GA planes these days. With that said, it didn't leave me stranded or show signs of mechanical issues.
05/02/2021		950AC	5	5	5	5	9261	I have 30+ hours on this aircraft and flew it during the last half of my instrument training and also for the check ride in 2020. Terrence is a fantastic owner and keeps his plane very clean, airworthy, and mission ready! The plane itself is very stable in all three axes which make it a terrific instrument trainer. The 430W GPS is a classic and everything you need for IFR flight with GPS approaches. In early 2021, Terrence removed the old DG and installed a Garmin G5. I just recently flew an IFR XC and this upgrade makes a huge difference. It's fully integrated with the 430W and the HSI provides automatic waypoint updates based on the GPS flight plan. Amazing! Cannot recommend highly enough. Go fly!
01/26/2022		4420R	5	5	5	5	9175	Very clean and well kept aircraft. It has great but simple avionics package with the amazing GTN650 paired with 2 G5s and Bluetooth ADS-B in to Foreflight. Would recommend 20R to anyone flying out of CRQ!
01/20/2022		5908S	4	4	4	3	13036	I flew this aircraft for an initial Club checkout, as I have the majority of my 3000 hours flying Beechcraft. I was very disappointed to discover the Garmin 530 is in fact not a WAAS unit, contrary to the listing, as I consider that to be a minimum equipment requirement for IFR. I spoke to the owner, who followed up on my flight to see how I liked the aircraft. He said he was not aware of the listing problem, and plans to invest in a new unit as the next aircraft upgrade. The IO-520 engine is very smooth and powerful. Flying characteristics were a delight--pure Beechcraft.
01/20/2022		7577N	5	5	5	4	42735	I have taken 7577N on a couple of small trips. On the first trip I was absolutely hooked. The plane was amazingly clean, stocked with useful avionics, has a phenomenal autopilot and is a smooth flyer. The best story I have with the plane was with a friend of mine and his girlfriend. The aircraft was so smooth, she fell asleep in the back seat! I was also pleasantly surprised when Aaron left a note for safe travels, that was much appreciated. I plan on taking this aircraft to Phoenix and Sedona later this month, and I couldn't be more excited. Only minor complaint is that the Intercom ICS is a bit confusing, but that's me being very nit-picky.
12/17/2021		5908S	5	5	5	5	13036	Absolutely a joy to fly, VERY FAST and excellent avionics. If you are looking for a great plane for XC flights, this is the one! Owner is very responsive and will address any issues immediately.
12/14/2021		5291E	4	5	5	4	8391	One of my favorite planes! Instils confidence, well maintained interior and flys wonderful.
12/14/2021		797RJ	1	2	2	4	13179	Apart from the G5s, every part of this plane is falling apart. Really basic stuff, like paneling, windows, seats, loose headset plugs.
12/10/2021		7620G	4	4	4	3	9231	Strong engine. Good avionics. True flyer.
12/09/2021		5396E	5	4	4	5	12992	One of the best planes at MYF, a little dusty inside but who cares
11/27/2021		561SA	4	5	5	5	13013	I flew the aircraft for about 20 hours the past week. Very reliable aircraft especially for flying to high altitude airports. Nice avionics. Auto pilot is currently inop and wish it can be repaired as it is useful for long x country trips.
11/27/2021		4255T	4	4	4	4	12944	Smooth power and trims very well. Overall I think this is the best Archer I have flown at Plus One.
11/24/2021		44886	5	5	5	4	13380	Great to have a clean and cost effective plane in the club. It's obvious the owner takes good care of it, it doesn't have oil dripping all over the cowl, it has nice wheel pants, the interior is not falling to pieces.. just an all around great plane! Certainly making it my "go-to" now for single engine ops You'll note the other reviewer didn't put 5 stars for avionics, I'll also give it 4 stars. The avionics and panel are totally fine. It's just not sporting G5s and a 650/750.. (which would push them to a 5/5) but does a PA-28, or really any "trainer" need that stuff? The 430 works great. PS - for a 160 horse this plane climbs superbly well, that's one healthy engine!
11/22/2021		7577N	5	5	5	5	42735	Clean, quiet, smooth and fast. Now my go-to 182 in the club. All around great condition, it’s clear this plane has been well loved.. Thank you!
11/15/2021		4389X	5	5	5	5	12955	Best avionics and best handling of any aircraft in the plus one fleet! Anyone who loves a low-wing feel with the gear up for increased range needs to pick this plane.
10/27/2021		5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	Loved flying this aircraft. It is newly painted, very clean and well maintained. The owner is very kind! Highly recommend this plane!
10/04/2021		5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	5150D must be the best kept secret in the club. Dual G5s and a Garmin 650 make it perfect for IFR training. Also, Pedro is super friendly and responsive to questions. This is now one of my go-to aircraft.
10/01/2021		5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	It looks like a new plane that just came off the lot. Scrupulously cleaned inside and out, beautiful paint job. Flies well to boot! Highly recommend this aircraft.
10/01/2021		737HY	5	5	5	4	13095	I did my check-ride in this plane for a reason. It's clean, well-maintained and has all the equipment that you need. I did my check ride in it because I found it just flies nice, trims out really well and just handles nicely.
09/14/2021		4182T	5	5	5	5	12934	Great 180Hp aircraft! Great VFR and IFR flyer, has the Garmin G5s. This aircraft is extremely well taken care of, beautiful interior on this aircraft also!! One of my favorite aircraft in the flying club! Well worth the price!
09/08/2021		75605	5	5	5	5	13147	I'm pretty sure this is the best 172 in KMYF and surroundings. Overall great performance, well maintained, beautiful classic 6-pack, paint and interior looks in great condition and the owner seems to be a person who takes good care of his airplane. If you do the things right you shouldn't have any inconvenient either with the airplane or the owner. I'm definitely flying this airplane from now and forever. My favorite 172.
08/31/2021		738QA	5	5	5	4	13107	I remember this aircraft from my initial training days back in 2007-08. Flew it recently again, a very nice aircraft! Nothing fancy but it does the job at a very reasonable hourly rate even today.
08/29/2021		465DS	5	5	5	5	9207	Great plane really good maintained, really clean in great condition, Totally recomendable.
08/28/2021		57679	5	5	5	3	35992	Very well kept, clean, flies well, overall a very nice taildragger.
08/21/2021		75605	2	1	1	2	13147	Never renting this plane again! Old six pack, old GPS, especially when most of the PlusOne planes at least have the G5’s. Poorly maintained interior of the aircraft, to the point where my passenger was very unsure of flying in the plane. And to top it off, rude owner! But the 180 hp useful load is like the only redeeming quality of this aircraft.
07/29/2021		16422	5	5	5	5	12527	Spectacular avionics panel. No steam games here! Comfortable interior too. No broken plastic or worn carpet. The autopilot makes it a relaxing cross country aircraft. It clean, comfortable, and complex.
07/26/2021		300KZ	5	5	5	5	6204	This airplane is a pleasure to fly! Frank worked hard to update it with an Aspen Evolution PFD and an AV-30C backup. The JPI engine monitor gives plenty of information to fly the plane efficiently. The interior is pristine, and the engine runs well. This is clearly a plane that is well maintained.
07/21/2021		9687J	5	5	5	5	13287	Pros: Strong engine, Great climb rate, Advanced avionics \| Cons: Seat does not go up or down and cannot be pushed back far enough for people with long legs. Due to the seat and yoke position, my knees interfere with the yoke. I am happy that the electric trim is installed however, it is slow and I find myself having to use the manual trim above my head.
07/19/2021		91630	3	4	4	1	13255	Flys like most 161s, good price point.
07/19/2021		5676V	5	5	5	3	8397	Clean and nice looking, decent power and avionics. ADS-B to Foreflight is a bit laggy.
07/19/2021		81916	5	5	5	5	13218	Clean, nice looking and top notch avionics = favorite trainer. Plus it's super cheap!
07/19/2021		4255T	5	5	5	4	12944	Great power, comfey as can be expected, decent avionics and autopilot rounds out a great XC plane.
07/13/2021		5291E	5	5	5	5	8391	Denny takes very good care of his airplane. It is by far the nicest offering at KSEE. He also owns the Redbird Sim which I highly recommend for IFR Currency and practicing any type of emergency situations. The sim also offers robust syllabi and GIFT training curriculum. 5 stars all around.
07/12/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Can't beat this aircraft for price and performance. My favorite C-172 in the Plus One fleet @ MYF.
07/11/2021			4	5	5	4	12550	Large fuel tanks allow you to fly longer legs than most other aircraft in the Plus One fleet. Good avionics too. If it had an autopilot, it would be perfect.
07/11/2021		561SA	5	5	5	5	13013	What this aircraft lacks in useful load, it makes up for in speed. A recent flight to KSBP and back averaged 120K ground speed on 11 gph. The fuel injected 180hp engine runs smooth and strong. The larger fuel tanks make up for the higher fuel burn over the 160hp engine in other Skyhawks. I also appreciate the cup holders and more substantial, comfortable seats for the longer flights. Really nice avionics too!
07/11/2021		4389X	4	4	4	4	12955	Not only is this a well equipped aircraft, but it has good legs and groundspeed too. The autopilot makes it a joy to fly.
07/04/2021		4975F	5	5	5	5	12970	4975F is my favorite aircraft from plus one. Always well manitained, and feels solid in flights. I've don't cross countries to Camarillo and Chandler and have never had an issue with the aircraft. Fantastic plane and will definitely rent again for my next XC
06/14/2021		8148F	5	5	5	5	13208	This is an excellent aircraft. It is very well maintained and reliable. The owner, Tom Reid, treats it with kid gloves and is very responsive and supportive of the pilots flying 48F.
06/14/2021		106HP	5	5	5	5	5981	I had the privilege of flying N106HP with a CFI today in a back to back High Wing vs Low Wing comparison to see if I had a preference for my coming training. I do favor low wings and this aircraft's finish is excellent and that A/C was incredibly nice to have on a hot Gillespie day. Super stable in angle of bank turns and for this newbie's observation much easier to maintain altitude and angle of bank in a turn in this aircraft than the 172N I flew earlier in the day. I'm 6'3/250lbs so I was filling the cockpit fairly well but if I was 5" shorter and 50lbs smaller, this aircraft would be a perfect fit.
06/11/2021		9687J	4	5	5	5	13287	I flew 87J for the first time for my annual flight review. Pre-flight inspection revealed an immaculate airframe and paint scheme that rivals a brand new aircraft. The entire firewall forward looks brand new and the interior is in excellent condition. It's hard to believe this aircraft is about 55 years old. The avionics are outstanding as well. The dual G5 setup provides all the information you need in a reduced instrument scan space. The radios and audio controller are crystal clear. This airplane climbs very well and has great cruise speed and just a slight pull to the right. While landing, it demonstrated good elevator authority, but slightly less rudder authority as compared to its younger cousins. The windscreen is clean and still visible even when flying directly into the setting sun. My only critique is related to the design of the seat, seat rail, and yoke position and has nothing to do with the condition, rigging, or outfitting of 87J. The seat does not move vertically and the forward position that I required for full rudder control put my knees squarely in the way of the yoke. Hopefully, this won't be aproblem for you.
06/06/2021		44886	5	5	5	5	13880	Externals look clean and new, but more importantly, the aircraft performed like a champ. Still was able to make an 800 FPM climb at 4000 ft with 2 pilots up front. Avionics worked like a charm. Tuned up the ILS while on the visual approach to RWY 28R at KMYF and verified it works. Definitely a great addition to the club!
06/03/2021		4389X	5	5	5	5	12955	I got my complex in this plane and it has been a joy to fly! The avionics are excellent with the dual G5’s and Garmin 530 and the engine monitor. Thank you for keeping your plane at a very affordable price and maintaining it to the highest standard!
06/02/2021		738TB	5	4	4	5	13118	Reliable & clean Aircraft. G5 and G430 are great for Instrument training/flight. Price is also very affordable. I've never had an issue, with over 70 hours in 8TB.
06/02/2021		34CF	5	5	5	3	5987	The Skywagon is amazing, with a reputation second to none. Go ahead, find another one for rent. This is an unheard of opportunity.
05/26/2021		106HP	5	5	5	5	5981	I was hesitant to submit this because the A/C is already busy and hard to schedule, and I felt that this would increase the "exposure" and it will be even harder to get my hands on the yolk of this aircraft. This is very will maintained, clean machine with upgraded avionics. The owner is very pleasant, takes good care of it. Very much recommended and that air-conditioning is a life saver on a hot day. Fly it once and you'll get hooked.
05/25/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Well maintained and looked after, the owner is diligent, friendly and communicative. Tight flight controls, climbs like a beast (for a 172 :p) nice avionics.
05/19/2021		728TB	5	5	5	4	27382	Where are all the inop plackards?!?! Everything works. SUPER clean, flies great, equipped for ACTUAL IFR xc flight. The autopilot makes it a great choice for single pilot IFR. One of those planes you want to take people up in their first time in a GA airplane. Oh, wait... Don't fly this airplane. I need it available for my checkride! PlusOne pilots, this is a gem. Let's treat her right!
05/19/2021		734DN	4	5	5	5	13076	Your standard 172 with a nice GTN-650 and Garmin G5. Strong magnetos and strong brakes. DO NOT overprime her though- the checklist suggests 3 primes which is what I did on a COLD start as the checklist would direct. This might have been too much as I did end up having to go lean, and full throttle procedure in suspicion of overpriming with only 3 pumps.
05/18/2021		96621	5	5	5	5	13278	Dave really cares about putting a quality product on the line, not only that, he is a super personable and nice guy. I always enjoy our chats on the line. Highly recommend!
05/18/2021		75605	5	5	5	5	13147	Great clean airplane! The best traditional six pack on the line, I've never come across traditional gauges that are so well maintained. Highly recommend!
05/18/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Clean and the avionics are great! Highly recommend!
05/18/2021		SIMFM	5	5	5	5		Denny does a great job keeping the Sim up to date, highly recommend!
05/07/2021		74881	4	5	5	4	9219	Took this new AA5 out to SBA last week. No autopilot, but great cruiser trimmed out. In addition to the awesome GTN650, it has a very cool digital round AI/HSI with moving map - first of its kind that I've seen. You can scroll through HSI/GPS/VLOC or show the moving map. You can also set altitude reference, heading, OBS, etc. by touchscreen. I wasn't getting ADSB-In traffic, however, on the GTN650. Nice paint job. Great for the weekend hop! An AP, ADS-B flightlink from the GTN to ipad, and music inputs would put this at 5 stars on my list.
05/01/2021		106HP	5	5	5	5	5981	This is the airplane I choose to rent on a consistent basis. Very well maintained and clean. Fairly priced per hour.
08/04/2022	sterpstra	172SX	5	5	5	3	12550	I love this airplane. I fly it frequently and between the super responsive and amazingly friendly owner/mechanic, the plane flies very nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the AV-30 instruments but maybe one day they will be replaced with Garmin. Aside from that, nothing but glowing remarks for this plane.
08/04/2022	sterpstra	2462P	3	3	4	4	12676	I have a soft spot for G1000's. It is one of the original G1000's so it isn't WAAS. Gotta be careful not shooting an RNAV and using LPV minima but aside from that, it's pretty solid.
08/05/2022	sterpstra	210BX	3	3	3	2	12582	The 210 is a great platform and this plane is fun to fly. She is fast, nice looking, and smooth. My biggest gripe is that I wish the owner would update the avionics. If this plane had a nice avionics upgrade, I would bet it would be flying its wings off. I’ll fly it on occasion to keep proficient, but I definitely think it needs a makeover.
08/05/2022	sterpstra	3803E	2	2	2	2	12922	The plane flies well (and a lot) it just needs a bit of avionics updates. A couple G5's, remove all the old stuff that isn't even used and this plane will be even better. It works for training though.
08/10/2022	sterpstra	172RW	3	3	3	5	12541	Great airplane, avionics are top notch. It has a nice autopilot so this is a great plane for building time too. I enjoy flying this plane. Actually, I enjoy letting the autopilot fly this airplane.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	237RJ	3	3	3	3	27803	This is one of my go to airplanes for cross country trips. I am not fond of the hangar it is in but I understand there is little the owner can do because of the city lease issues. The Avidyne IFDs take a LOT of getting used to, especially if you are familiar with Garmin. Overall though, it works well and gets the job done. A little more TLC would make it a way better 22 but it works.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	256J	5	5	5	5	31547	I would love this airplane more but it hasn’t been available long enough to get more out of it. It has been in maintenance seemingly longer than it has been available to us. The avionics are awesome and the MT props are super quiet.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	4389X	2	3	2	2	12955	The G5s are nice but it would be substantially better if there was a little more effort put into the panel. It is like flying a 50’s Chevy Truck. It isn’t really my first, second, or third choice but it is decent enough if you need to go a tiny bit faster and want a retractable gear.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	5150D	4	4	4	4	13389	If you can get it, this plane is da bomb. Excellent price point, good avionics, easy to communicate with the owner. This is my 172 of choice. I think this spends more time in the air than on the ground.
08/11/2022	Rodabaugh	738FY	4	4	4	4	52990	Strong performing aircraft with an electric constant speed 3 bladed prop. One of the few C172 aircraft with an autopilot, this aircraft is perfect for cross countries. Its comfortable, great looking, and very affordable.
08/11/2022	tmiller	4922D	3	3	3	3	12372	NIce Plane!
08/16/2022	sterpstra	3386E	4	4	4	4	12901	Nice airplane, with some great avionics comparatively. It flies nice and makes for a nice cross country bird.
08/16/2022	Rodabaugh	4255T	3	2	3	3	12944	The best things about this airplane are the GTN 650 GPS and the STEC autopilot. There is no COM/NAV 2, but I just use the monitor function on the GTN650 to pick-up ATIS and other transmissions. The engine monitor is a nice addition as well. The 180 HP motor allows excellent climb performance. The DG presesses too much to be reliable for IFR training but the value this aircraft offers can't be beat.
08/16/2022	sterpstra	1784R	4	4	5	4	12571	This is a great club airplane. It is an excellent transition airplane for those moving to HP/Complex and an even better airplane for cross country flights with an excellent useful load. This is one of my go to airplanes for cross country rentals with my family. Thanks for having a great plane like this in the club!
08/19/2022	capassoma	733JW	3	3	2	4	13064	This plane looks so-so on the outside but is a good flyer. Well balanced on the controls, easy to trim.
09/01/2022	Tmacf123	106HP	4	5	4	5	5981	This plane is awesome. I love the A/C, it actually works! It is IFR rated too. It has a Carb Ice Detector which is pretty cool for IFR. It feels solid, lands nicely and I can't wait to fly it again!
09/01/2022	lengrep	465DS	4	3	3	4	9207	I've flown a variety of aircraft, but nothing as modern as a DA-40. This airplane is very well maintained, and equipped with a WAAS G1000 and excellent integrated autopilot. The airplane's handling is very different from a Cessna, but something you can adapt to fairly quickly with good instruction. It's a very light airplane with a very lightly loaded wing. The great visibility also means lots of sunlight. It can get pretty toasty on a hot day.


09/06/2022	wtbussick	210BX	3	3	4	2	12582	Excellent performer and one of the fastest planes in the fleet. The lack of avionics is disappointing however. If there was an avi upgrade, this bird would be checked out non stop.
09/08/2022	krcolman	16422	5	4	3	4	12527	A great airplane. Wonderfully maintained and nice interior. Great avionics for inst work or CCX.
09/09/2022	victorperez	75605	5	4	4	4	13147	This airplane is one of my favorites in the club. It has plenty of power with 180hp all at your disposition while taking off.

	but remember do NOT overprime and do NOT overcrank the engine starter. Read the instructions and you should be fine.


09/18/2022	Amjaffer	5208D	4	4	5	4	12982	Fantastic airplane and handles like a champ, especially with the new engine! Perfect for a quick flight around san diego.
09/22/2022	patrickcanler	7620G	5	5	5	5	9231	This plane is awesome! Amazing avionics, great power, and such a stable and smooth platform. Love this plane.
09/26/2022	artc25	44886	5	4	4	4	13380	Flew 44886 for the1st time today. Great airplane with nice avionics. Flies very nicely. Slick airframe and wings make it faster but a little more work to land than older Hershey bar wing PA28s. Exterior looks like a newer plane. Interior is nice and clean. Would recommend for traveling or taking new passengers to relieve some anxiety of flying in older planes. Will use this plane more often.
09/27/2022	gwbeaty	8148F	4	4	4	3	13208	This is one of the best maintained aircraft I have ever flown. Tom see to it that all issues are dealt with and checks on the plane regularly. His hanger has a GPU, extra parking and everything you need to prep the plane. The power tug is a must for moving these planes by yourself and is always working.
10/08/2022	jkapenas	797RJ	4	4	4	4	13179	This plane is my favorite! The 50 gallon long-range tanks make it my first choice. Plus, the avionics are fantastic with dual G5s and both a GTN 650 & GNS 430. They have WAAS and traffic and the data base(s) seem to both be updated monthly. Love the redundancy. Exterior and Interior are better than or equal to the rest in the club.
10/08/2022	jkapenas	734DN	4	3	3	4	13076	This plane is awesome!
10/08/2022	jkapenas	733JW	4	4	4	4	13064	I've been flying this plane since I was student. Very reliable and great maintenance!
10/08/2022	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	4	4	13095	Best C172 in the club. Paint is cool and interior is brand new. Avionics are solid. Flies great for instrument work.
10/13/2022	eric.anderson.navy	7233Y	3	3	3	3	56232	This is an awesome ME time builder. Fast, fun, and easy to fly with benign engine out characteristics.
10/18/2022	vsut	7DU	4	3	3	5	13188	This airplane is a thrilled to fly, very smooth. The avionics are all new and works perfectly. Owners are super nice and happy to answer your questions.

10/18/2022	lengrep	7577N	4	3	4	4	42735	I joined Plus One hoping to find aircraft like this. Well maintained by an owner who clearly cares. And he's rewarded with a full rental schedule!

	and this airplane is far better. Engine starts right up	runs super smooth. The avionics upgrades are all very useful and easy to get used to flying with. I'd wish for a better #2 NavCom	0	0


10/20/2022	hayesjaj	499DR	3	3	3	4	58671	Nice plane, now at MYF. Comfortable interior and made book numbers.
10/20/2022	cfairweather	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	Pricey, but worth it. I loved every aspect of this plane including its new plane smell. The perfect plane for a bay tour and to fly a passenger new to aviation.
10/21/2022	pilotchippof	95MR	5	4	5	4	36675	Good looking ship with great avionics. Cruises nicely with comfortable seating. Great audio panel with Bluetooth music connection and new Garmin touch screen GPS (it's like a small 650). An autopilot and current GPS databases would make this first class!
10/22/2022	bbender87	96621	3	3	3	3	13278	EGT and CHT warnings after 30 seconds climb @ Vy. Requires climb at reduced power and 90kts to keep temps green.
10/24/2022	james89	20392	2	2	3	2	59268	160hp it takes a while to climb 500vs at palomar with 2 pax, avionics not working really well (com 2) an airplane to build time in a “cheap” way
10/24/2022	sterpstra	7603C	2	2	2	3	59261	I would like this plane more if it was better taken care of. It has a lot of potential, as do most of the Duchess in the club but it needs some TLC to make sure it gets things fixed quicker. It works for a trainer but just barely.
10/24/2022	ccojocaru	7145P	3	4	3	4	32411	Solid Comanche 250, fast, quiet, good avionics.
10/27/2022	lzdeb1970	4922D	4	4	4	5	12372	The dual G5/650 was easy to adapt to coming from G1000s. Plane's appearance is perhaps a little dated, but everything is in good shape. Owner is also a really nice guy; seems to be at the airport a lot and was willing to chat/answer questions.
10/30/2022	eesser	734NK	5	4	5	5	8423	Fantastic plane. Great avionics, working 4 place intercom, engine monitor, exterior is awesome looking, climbs like crazy, flys straight and smooth. My favorite club plane so far by a mile.
10/31/2022	Devin Chatterjie	738FY	5	4	4	4	52990	Great flying airplane with a strong and healthy engine. The prop also makes this perfect for efficient cross country trips.
10/31/2022	Devin Chatterjie	738FY	4	4	3	4	52990	Love the prop for efficiency and cross country speed. Everything works well and she’s got a strong engine always starts beautifully. Nice leather interior is great for bringing friends also also.
11/01/2022	jkapenas	797RJ	4	3	3	4	13179	Great plane! Love the 50 gallon tanks and avionics. Both the GTN 650 and GNS 430 are updated each month.
11/01/2022	eric.anderson.navy	6350P	4	4	3	3	50840	This is a solid performing aircraft. A great aircraft for complex training or building complex time.
11/04/2022	sterpstra	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	This plane is amazing. The owner(s) take impeccable care of this bird and you can tell. Mechanically it is phenomenal and the avionics, oh dang!
11/04/2022	capassoma	44886	3	3	3	3	13380	good flyer, nice interior.
11/04/2022	athilenius	738TB	1	1	2	3	13118	It's falling apart to the point where I felt unsafe flying it, and scrubbed the flight for me and my passengers. The bare minimum of legally required maintained is clearly all that is ever done to this plane.
11/05/2022	capassoma	91630	4	3	3	2	13255	Good flyer. Had a tough time starting it, but finally got it running. The idle limit is set very low. Just have to be carefull when retarding the throttle. The rear snaps on the cover are broken off, so cannot cover the aircraft after flight. Overall, good aircraft for local flights.
11/05/2022	jgerun	950AC	4	4	4	3	9261	Super clean, great aircraft for IFR or VFR training/short cross countries. Only downside is that none of the avionics have bluetooth for foreflight (that I could find) but you can always use a Stratus/Sentry. I’ll definitely be taking her out again.
11/06/2022	tigrepickett@gmail.com	96621	3	3	3	3	13278	Nicely updated plane. Traffic awareness is lacking and you'll want to bring a Sentry along. Nice alert system for engine monitoring if temps push past EGT limits. Dave, the owner, is fast to fix things, happy to answer questions and is usually around the airfield.
11/06/2022	Nahama	7233Y	3	3	2	3	56232	Nice, relatively fast and with decent avionics that work without negative quirks. The exterior doesn’t do it justice. Overall solid platform for medium distance cross countries and pleasant to fly.
11/07/2022	boadaboa	5208D	5	5	5	4	12982	This plane is amazing with brand new engine. Especially climb performance is very nice.
11/10/2022	eitandzur	9687J	4	4	4	3	13287	Super pretty inside and out. This is NOT your regular PA28 though. Has Cessna style throttle and mixture controls and all the switches are in odd places. Trim is overhead and electronic trim and PTT are not parts of the yoke.
11/10/2022	pdwillia40	79212	4	4	4	4	9249	I very much enjoyed flying 79212. Great performance with 3 adults. Thanks for making it available!
11/10/2022	tigrepickett@gmail.com	75605	3	2	3	2	13147	This is more a doer than a looker. Traditional six pack with Garmin 530. Flys great. But looks well worn. Tricky start so definitely chat with the owner or read the inside of the binder. Parking it under the awning is tricky at night given little to no lights. Interior needs love and so do side windows for visibility.
11/11/2022	tantalum	52799	3	2	4	3	13402	This plane flies really nice, probably my favorite 182 in the club. No autopilot but she starts right up and has a solid TAS for a straight leg 182. It trims out so well you almost don't need AP. Will be renting it again for sure
11/11/2022	eitandzur	44886	4	4	4	2	13380	Great looking interior and exterior, avionics are middle of the road. Seats seem to be higher than other 160s so for me (6' 2") I kinda had to slouch down to have my head straight.
11/11/2022	Groseb28	75605	3	3	3	4	13147	The owner of this aircraft was very friendly and communicative! The avionics in this plane are great and I will continue to choose this plane whenever I have the chance to!
11/11/2022	eitandzur	44886	4	4	4	2	13380	As far as I know, there's no ADS-B in......
11/12/2022	bryceacurtis	20392	5	5	5	5	59268	I have been flying this plane consistently for months now and it flys really well. Interior and exterior are always kept clean. Engine is very reliable and always runs smooth. Avionics and GPS work great and easy to use. Both Com 1 and Com 2 work great as well. Definitely the best deal for price and quality in Plus Ones Fleet.
11/12/2022	eesser	5291E	4	4	4	4	8391	Very strong smooth running engine. Plane flys great. Love the G5 setup. Climbs like crazy.
11/12/2022	stevekstevek	79212	3	3	4	4	9249	I’ve flown a lot of different 172s, including a lot of time in modern 172SPs, and this guy really performs. Easy 1000fpm climbs with 3 adults. The FBO it’s in is super fancy. No step on the side to check fuel, but they’ll bring a ladder for you.
11/14/2022	flyboy617	20867	5	5	3	3	8445	Strongest 182P in the fleet. Departed from a high DA airport with 3 other 200# dudes + gear and it climbed like a champ. The guages are very accurate, and I particularly appreciated the carb temperature gauge. The G3X and radios work great. Could not get the autopilot to engage however, even after letting it go through "test" mode. The owner is very responsive and you can you tell he takes pride in having a nice aircraft for his pilots. I just hope the aircraft doesn't get treated like a "rental" now...
11/21/2022	Amjaffer	172SX	5	5	5	5	12550	Fantastic airplane for a short or long day trip. Handles beautifully and the avionics are top notch!
11/23/2022	eesser	80906	5	5	5	5	13616	This is the nicest airplane I've ever flown. All glass panels but not too intimidating esp if you are coming from G5 and are at least familiar with the tape. Strong 180HP engine, great climb perf, flies very straight.
11/25/2022	eric.anderson.navy	7603C	2	2	2	2	59261	Mechanically sound aircraft. Good for practicing maneuvers.
11/26/2022	Kuklaste	95MR	4	4	4	4	36675	Took this plane on a family cross country to KMEV. Great useful load; super clean inside and out; and great avionics. The only thing that could make it better is an autopilot but it trimmed up beautifully and was a dream to fly.
11/26/2022	jamespgraymd	5208D	4	4	4	4	12982	My favorite plane in the club so far. Clean, looks like a lot of new updates to the exterior and interior. Handles beautifully. Amazing plane.
11/29/2022	agustinabalaguer	91630	2	1	3	2	13255	When Gus S. owned this aircraft the maintenance was pristine, always prompt to fix any issue. There is duct tape in the filtered air inlet going to the carburetor.
	but should be kept in good condition."
11/22/2022	sanchezgdominic	75733	5	5	5	5	57366	This aircraft comes packed with all the necessary equipment to complete any flight, whether it is a cross country in VMC or IMC. Also, I recommend taking a few flights during the day in VMC if it is your first time flying an aircraft with all glass panels, like this one. Overall, excellent condition, flies great, and nicely insulated. One thing that is appreciated while using non-noise canceling headsets is when an aircraft cabin can block most of the engine noise. The panels are also very intuitive, and provide reliable engine monitoring readouts that help keep suitable power through different phases of flight.
11/22/2022	htorrespr	75733	5	5	5	5	57366	Best equipped C172, great avionics, great interior, amazing cross country platform.
12/02/2022	tantalum	210BX	3	3	3	3	12582	So it doesn't have G5s or GI-275. Big deal, the plane starts up great (even hot), flies fast, strong, and and climbs well. You've got a 530 and dual NAV needles with an STEC autopilot. Not sure what else you need. Too bad the O2 doesn't work but it's a great plane! I'll be flying it more
12/03/2022	quinnsaville	36711	4	4	3	4	12915	I took this plane XC to Arizona and the avionics (I think it's a G750), trim, and interior were all quite comfortable for the long ride. The photos and description don't mention its avionics, but this is surprisingly one of the better Archers in the fleet because of the Bluetooth and ADSB-In. A little difficult to start the engine, but it is otherwise a very capable IO-360.
12/09/2022	utlonghorn2008	96621	5	5	5	5	13278	Great plane! Nice avionics suite and great interior!
12/11/2022	Walt	738AZ	3	3	4	3	13606	Clean looking plane. Flies very well. Interior as nice as any older A/C. No issues at all with my BFR. Classic instruments and avionics for the most part, but all functional.
12/13/2022	kent814	2169F	4	4	4	5	37102	Fun plane to fly, flew it for my PA28 checkout. Handled smoothly and has dual G5’s which is always a good bonus on a club plane
12/14/2022	HerkDriver	6409D	4	4	4	3	46893	Great flying airplane, really enjoyed flying it and will rent it again.
12/17/2022	pdwillia40	4629D	4	4	4	4	9194	Great plane. Very clean, flies well and the GTN 630 is easy to use.
12/19/2022	dbalint7	80906	5	4	5	5	13616	One of the best C172 in the fleet! Beautiful airplane, excellent avionics, performs very well, stable, and has a very responsive owner. Great value for the price!
12/20/2022	jamespgraymd	6409D	5	5	5	5	46893	Just took my checkride in this plane. It’s beautiful inside and out, has had major work done and updates. Love the EGT gauge. The aircraft maintenance logbook was well-kept, easy to obtain, and in perfect order with everything needed for a checkride easily accessible and highlighted. Very happy to have his plane in the club!
12/22/2022	Alexmal	9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Best plane that I tried so far ! And the owner is super nice and explained a lot of things !
12/22/2022	westoneichner	75605	4	5	4	5	13147	People are underestimating this plane. The outside is completely fine, just the paint is dull. The avionics are sweet! Garmin GNS530 to at least see where you are in relation to airspace but really have to use those eyes to find traffic! Classic six pack was awesome to fly with, although I do find this plane a bit pricy for its avionics package. Climbed with 4 people and full tanks, 800 fpm. Will definitely use her in the future.
12/24/2022	capassoma	91630	3	3	3	3	13255	Good flying airplane for the price.
12/24/2022	cfairweather	561SA	4	4	4	4	13013	Great plane. Fuel injection is awesome. I will be booking this plane more often.
12/28/2022	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	3	3	13095	A nice club ride.
12/28/2022	jkapenas	734DN	3	2	3	4	13076	Great panel. It flies well!
01/06/2023	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	4	4	13095	My favorite club plane! Nice avionics, panel and interior. Decent paint. Flies great!
01/08/2023	prissy	60GL	3	5	5	5	8415	Beautiful tailwheel. Great for aerobatics !!
01/12/2023	jgerun	4323X	5	5	5	3	60752	Very power aircraft. Beautiful, new, interior and super clean, fresh exterior. Mostly steam gauges but all in good working order on a clean panel. Even has an autopilot! Very stable and will be great on cross countries. The owner really cares about this aircraft.
01/18/2023	francisj	34CF	5	4	4	3	5987	This Skywagon trims very well, has great power with the new upgraded engine and prop. Great cruise speed. Beautiful plane!
