Think many of you are being a bit tough on the trislander, not as noisy as the islander, driver further forward out of the plane of the props, the seating and entry/exit doors were very well suited for short haul (15-20 mins) and fast turn around, especially when pax had the system sussed. Aurigny Air had a big fleet of them and made money with them. Originally had to have Auto Feather on the centre engine, this was to difficult to keep serviceable so the requirement was dropped. Had many an interesting moment giving type ratings and pulling the centre engine on T/O, was not easy to pick when first converting to them. One of the more embarrasing features of them was being held on a taxiway with the tail end to windward, a good gust would attempt to turn the
aircraft into the wind, if it was strong enough would end up facing the aircraft behind you.
