What are good Aircraft!

Postby billboy05 » Sat Oct 11, 2008 11:07 am

I am deciding to takeover the position of CEO of Fly British VA, as you might have seen before, and instead of me choosing the aircraft for the pilots to fly, i have decided to let others throw there own ideas and opinions to me.

I need a light aircraft like a cessna 182, for flying clubs.
I need a bigger light aircraft like a king air, for Private Executive flights
I need a Turbo prop like an ATR or Dornier or Beachcraft. Regional.
I need something like B737-800.Regional and Domestic.
I need other aircraft bigger and better than B737-800. Everywhere!

All im asking it so to give ideas, and if there is a trend proving, like B737-800 is the best small ailiner, or the cessna 182 is not the best light aircraft. I hope that there are lots of replies please, even if you think you wont be noticed your opinion will count, honestly. Most people know that Fly British before it closed down was a large VA with around 300 members worldwide, then closed down to management problems. I am now taking the task of rebuilding this and I need the general vote for aircraft!

Your opinion will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!! THANKS! :D ;D

The cessna 182 is a good aircraft for fliying clubs.  It has gentle enough handling for training, but performs well enough for short cross country flying, like flights within 250 miles of departure airport. I would however like to say, the default FS Cessna 182 falls very short of actually simulating the real 182.  The performance and handling are nothing like a real cessna 182.  I would recomend using another freeware aircraft, like Fravin Guidee & Massimo Grassi's cessna 206, or even Brian Gladden's GA-8 airvan.  They offer easy handling but are large enough to even be used for commercial flying.  Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the props but:
You could go for a BAe 146 instead of the turboprop.
737NG series
A340 or 777.
