I suppose I'm being picky, but once the Very Light Jets arrive (if/when), somebody could do a their test on something like a Citation Mustang/ Eclipse etc merely because it has dual instruments?
Option a) actually excludes a 1900, despite all the noise about now requiring an ATP to command it! I know option b) allows it, but also allows ANY turbine, as long as it has dual instruments, and more than one engine (Cessna Conquest, Kingair C90, some VLJ's etc), regardless of weight.
I know, I know, it doesn't have dual instruments!
But this does:
As I said, I suppose I'm being picky, but the exclusion of a weight or minimum crew limit in the turbine/jet option seems to defeat the point.
