Well, I have an answer to this question (Misspelt in thread title). Absolutely!

Just completed MER in Seneca Turbo.

Like doing the IMC I feel this has raised my game to a whole new level. Just doing a written exam on the plane itself means that I feel I know more about the tech aspects of this craft than anything else I have flown. I should know all the craft I fly to this detail and will do so.

I was taught to call every speed in approach, cruise, landing etc i.e. ‘speed below 129 gear down’ and this is a great discipline.

Forgetting that I found every minute of flying this twin hugely enjoyable I have found this has raised my game in flying singles as well.

I can strongly recommend this if you get the chance, even if not flying MER very often.

Now just need to find one to hire from where I fly.

Perhaps one small step closer to flying a DC3 !
