The Cessna 182 departed from a private airport that did not have fuel available for purchase. The pilot elected to refuel while en route to his destination instead of other airports located near the departure airport.
The pilot further reported that upon reaching the airport that he intended to refuel at, he found it was closed and diverted to another airport. At that time, he noticed that the fuel gauge needles were "bouncing off empty."

According to author Andrew Moseman: Halfway down the Hudson, Groucho lets me take the stick. New Jersey on the right, Manhattan on the left, and the river unfolds as a blue road before us. I know the fundamentals of how to steer this thing. But I'm not a pilot, and so I guide it to the left with the slightest of gestures. Good thing, too: It doesn't take more than a slight tap to push the Icon A5, far from the jerk of the joystick you might expect if you, like I, have never really flown an aircraft before.

Charles Johnson is no stranger to new aircraft.
The former head of Cessna Aircraft Co. and one-time chief of flight test production at Learjet was involved with the certification of more than 25 new models of aircraft.
But it's a project he is now involved with that he says could truly revolutionize general aviation.
Johnson is a board member at Denver-based XTI Aircraft Co., founded by industry veteran David Brody, which has turned recently to equity crowdfunding to help get its TriFan 600 aircraft off the ground.
Straight up off the ground.

Unless you are required by a lender to carry liability insurance for your airplane, you likely don't have to pay for such a policy. Only 11 states require some form of liability insurance for general aviation aircraft operators, according to the Government Accountability Office, unlike automobile owners and commercial airlines, which are federally obligated to be insured.
But this may not be the case much longer. The GAO says there have been GA accidents where parties received no compensation for losses because the airplane operator had no insurance.
