yes sorry figures were indeed per engine per hour,

Interesting about the ATC viewpoint, my £0.02's worth is that there wont be that much impact. The owners were probably going to buy some form of aircraft anyway, either that or they are flying around IFR in something smaller/slower so in terms of IFR "Numbers" they will be neutral or the increase would have been there regardless of whether Cessna/Eclipse built these things anyway.

Cant see somebody jumping from SR22 to one of these things just because they can afford it

I remember many moons ago witnessing a conversation between 4 flightsafety instructors about who was going to go on the "Yard Dart" program and nobody was interested. Whats interesting is that the FAA have subdivided the type rating into four different levels depending on how the TR course was completed and checked and JAA have not.

So rich guy sells the Seneca in Miami and can only bomb off with a type rated experienced guy in the RHS, Rich guy in Farnborough sells Seneca and causes chaos in the LTMA.

The insurers will have to play a huge part in this to ensure safety prevails, these things are as cheap as a four year old kingair. JAA has no provision for the mentoring program that the FAA have put in place.

Interesting times ahead for the traditional Beech 90/200 operators.
