its all numbers really..

If you weigh it up and feel the risk is acceptable then life is grand..

would I do it middle of the night/knowhere etc in a 210.. NO, in a 402.. maybe, in a PC-12 no drama, in a kingair of course..

taking all else in consideration though.. if the 210 was near new, great maint, known history etc etc and the kingair had 30000 hrs with questionable maint near timex eng and dodgy maint history the scales start to tip..
these things quite often aren't in our control..

so RFDS PC 12/45 or busted arse kingair.. give me the PC 12 anyday...
If a low hour, well maintained PC 12 doesn't cut it for you then maybe you should reconsider the airline gigs..

if you want to be 100 %safe...take a sickie and stay home ....!!
