"UD" come & stand next to old Capt Wally, together we shall fight against evil & for common sense we shall be victorious

You guys can wave the 20.7 stick around all ya like I still believe that the diff between the 200&350 is little to be even bothering about 'cause the 350 is too limiting for our ops.due nonsense.
Look the only way the 350 airframe is "safer" is due the 20.7 umbrella. You can operate the 200 airframe the same way with regards to BFL etc & get the same 'safety' but we don't because it's a bit like the SE debate with regards the 200, we take a risk, a calculated risk (but not that big!!!)
If we are talking about safety here and we obviously are re what an airframe can or can't do with a failure at the critical stage lets not even enter the PC12 into it
As for the PC12 debate? yeah lets get it re-lit here, been dull & boring in here for ages
Anyway at the end of the day we all fly what we are comfy with:-)


EDIT for "Desert Duck".......'self labeled experts who have lost touch with aviation a long time ago"........to that I say...........PHEWWWW!!! Thank God for them
Economics wise yr probably correct 'DD', safety wise, no contest
