Gary Halliday, if flying a twin piston is so easy like falling off a log. Then why don't you do what I do, and once a year go and get your MEP(IR) renewed. With your experience I am sure you would pass first time and in minimal time too. You must know a friendly examiner around your neck of the woods. It cost me £300 last time. And do you know what, I nearly in the heat of the ILS took the wrong minima off the plate. Simply cos I had got so used to either watching the autopilot do the work or asking my colleague to find out the info whilst I was hand flying it. So I think this whole single pilot thing is VERY valid. Admitted, my instrument scan was there but my practical appreciation of the aircraft op took a few extra brain cells.
