On paper, it looks like a very doable day: Depart from your home base of Scottsdale, Arizona (KSDL) in your Cirrus SR22T by 7:30 a.m., fly 224 nm to North Las Vegas Airport (KVGT) for a 10 a.m. business meeting at the Stratosphere, head 100 nm east to check in at your St. George, Utah, factory and leave KSGU for a 270 nm trip to Telluride, Colorado (KTEX) to meet up with the spouse for a summer mountain-biking weekend. The three flights total less than 3.5 hours of flying, and all are hops well within the Cirrus’ capability.
