I'll be honest and say the Nomad was the easiest twin I've flown, for a single pilot operation IFR or VFR, it is has a lot of simple systems to use. Being able to use full flap is fantastic - much more stable in the approach than the 10 degrees we were limited to. 65 knots in the flare in the ol' gal is a lot better than 90kts+ at MLW!

It will be a really really good addition to the Airvan, and with the changes to the Nomad which GA will make, it will be a lot better than the originals I fly. Plus the product support GA are going to provide (based on how they have been with our Airvans) it will certainly be a winner!
