just a thought
This is a good point - with the CT2K having such low fuel consumption, a solo range of around 1000 miles, and being able to cruise at over 130mph! The question is, if a PPL (A) owns a CT2K, presumably, all hours built up flying it won't "count"? Does the PPL(A) holder have to hire a plane for minimum 12 hours every other year to keep his licence?
