The two primaries are also connected to an avionics bus through a circuit breaker. The fuel system will self-siphon between tanks if the airplane is not parked on a level surface, so it’s possible to have an imbalance that won’t improve in flight. As the TKS fuel tank make access to the empennage difficult, I had a DER approve a rear access panel.My longest nonstop trip in N314PY was 10.5 hours from Flagstaff, Arizona, to Teterboro, New Jersey.
But If you’re going older, most buyers seeking a practical, use-it-often airplane won’t want a museum piece, so that argues for a 182E or later.
