The Van is a great machine, especially for the operator. But on your CV it's only worth 500 hours, and that is if it is your first Turbine. After that your just wasting your time, you need twin and Multi crew to move on.

She is a lovely machine, simple and easy to fly. But therein lies the problem. Spend too much time on oneand you forget how to fly a real plane. She's made to be flown buy guys with only 400 hours or less. She is easier that a 206 that is for sure.

If there is a chance for advancement onto a bigger plane withing the company within a year I'd go for it. But if you going co-jo, I'd say forget it.
