“Viable” Perhaps in Vegas. Expecting to fly 8-10 hours a day in Michigan in December in a 177RG, a 200 hp aircraft with no anti ice/deice capability other than a heated pitot, let alone expecting to hit all 48 of the contiguous states in 30 days shows what the shrinks would call ‘poor reality testing.’
