I’ve been racking up these float hours, and I absolutely love it! I’m super excited about flying the Cessna 185 – it’s really something else compared to the C172. The addition of the constant speed propeller has been a real treat. I’ve practiced with the concept in a simulator, but it always just seemed like a theory. That seemed to have changed when I started flying the 185. The whole practice of saving fuel and being easy on the engine is now just something you do; it simply makes sense. I don’t know what changed, but it definitely is a good thing!
