Thank you Englishal for fighting against the twin bashing.

The higher up the flying ladder you go, the higher the requirements for currency, eye hand coordination and systematic handling of the craft.

Those who can only fly less than 25 hours per year should not fly twins or even complex singles, even less so if one wants to fly at altitude with oxygen or in marginal weather.

But those that can afford to fly regularly in a modern proven twin and who have the eye hand coordination, the urge to fly accurately and who by their very nature enjoy the renewal stress could do a lot worse than flying something like a good modern Seneca, a Baron or a DA42

Those people can afford to fly high over the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpats etc or at night over the sea with more confidence at speeds close to 200 knots true, often well above the weather and feel not too distant from the professional flyers.

I have found flying my twin mch more usefull than the PA28's i flew before, more enjoyable and indeed more people now fly with me.
