1500 in a king air

Am more likely to end up with getting bounced by a horse so Yes time off is a consideration.

We may have access to substantial funds but I dont think wasting it is on the agenda. £843 an hour (300 per year stats ) for 1500 hours is over £1 1/4 million!

So while a lot of flying time is going to be in the B200 I want to use both the Seneca Cherokee and something else as well to get a diversity of experience not to mention saving a huge amount of money.

Recently started looking at PA-31-350 though with the cost of fuel as it is they are getting expensive to operate too.

I AM RELIABLY INFORMED I can fly that without an additional pilot and do some of the trips up to Scotland and Ireland and IFR any time after multi engine Intrument course.
