Re: Succesor to the Navajo, Chieftain, Metro
Sprucegoose,
The Metro 23 was not certified to Far 25. Pretty sure it's the same for the B1900. That's why they are certified to fly with just one pilot eg. freight ops. And don't be too hard on them. I flew both 23's and III's for years. They're a good machine. Great for aspiring airline types to cut their teeth on and an excellent rig to learn how to operate IFR without all the bells and whistles. Most companies that operate them love them for their low operating and aquisition costs. Management type told me once that the 23 was 1/3 cheaper to operate than a Bandit. Go figure. It was nice to go to a different type but I still have a big soft spot for them.
