Hello again and welcome to aviation news talk, a weekly show with relevant news and flying tips for pilots and student pilots to help keep you safe.

I'm Max Ruscott.

For our main topic today, we're going to be talking about weight and balance, which is a subject all pilots need to fully understand.

And we'll talk about a couple of weight and balance related accidents.

Plus, we have a listener question.

A listener wants to know whether to buy a slightly older 182 or a slightly newer one with

the old version of the G-1000, and you might be surprised at my recommendation.

Now, last week in episode 147, we talked with author Mike Bush about aircraft ownership tips,

so if you didn't hear that, you may want to check it out.

but the rules regarding flight reviews and instrument currency won't apply to most pilots.

An air venture is no venture for this year. Bailout money for airports is being distributed
