Cap Loko,

Unless you have the performance manuel out on this specific twin you can't make any behind the key board judgement on performance...I didn't specify sea level at 50 below zero or high hot and heavy, in Colorado.

If you find autofeather on a light twin like a C340 let me know...

Time is relative, some pilots can't make decision infront of thier PC with regard to performance, much less up in a plane.

Some people are very comfortable flying planes...very comfortable.

Your statement simply negates the fact that light twins on a daily basis operate out of remote, unimproved stips all over the world..and they all don't have the luxury flying the numbers in a best case scenario as is commonly considered. Start reading up on short field and unimproved operations and you will understand a little about the 'mindset' of a short field pilot vs one that flies out of 10000 ft runways in turbine equipment. One size does not fit all.
