Hairyplane
Good point, I owned a 44 and did leaseback threw my local school. Suffered one over speed £17K, before they eventually crashed it. Flying schools don't care if the pilot they hire to has 6hrs on type like the guy who crashed mine, they just want the profit from that .5 hire!
The main reason most of us do leaseback is to try and bring down the hourly rate it costs to operate the machine. If I buy another 44 I’ll keep it for private use or just a select few pilots I trust.
