Playing with my new autopilot this afternoon, turned final and saw 120 indicated turned in to 50 ground speed.
Got to thinking, I can fly slow indicated airspeed, let’s see how it plays out. Took a snippet from a video I took.

Oh my. It gets even better! I wish updating a panel didn’t cost so much in Canada. (Why can’t we have a 337 field approval equivalent here?)
Nice bird (heck of a manicured strip too!)

It is the safest plane out there. There is a 0 % chance of my dying from CO poisoning, because of the drafty doors.
Nice and cool in the summer!
It was -20 (Canadian) when I picked it up a few weeks ago. I’m still thawing out.
BPF: nope, the J is still going strong. My 182 has the R though. Someone upgraded to millennium cylinders. She purrs.
