Well I guess I have lost touch with aviation and what it takes to fly something like a PC12.

I used to think that someone like the guy who started this thread that has 1000 hours mostly single engine charter would have no problem with a PC12, but I guess the world has changed and they are making modern aircraft far more difficult for pilots to fly.

But I really am interested in what others think about this business, sure I can see where Canada would have climatic and terrain differences that can be more demanding than a lot of other countries but I don't see where Canada would be all that more different as far as high density IFR goes.

Then again like I have said before we all have different levels of what we feel is difficult and the safest pilots are those who know their limitations.

Incidently just for curiositys sake Sepia where would you put aerial application on the difficulty to do scale with relation to flying IFR in a turbine?
