I'd much prefer paying a little extra for the safety of a Baron or a 310 rather than a Duchess/Seminhole or Tin Can any day of the week
I would like to see a more detailed explanation of that statement!
I have done ME IR training/renewals in Apache, Aztec, Duchess, C310, Baron and C402 and can't say I felt more or less safe in any of them.
For me the biggest safety issue when ME or IR training is the bod sitting in the right hand seat. I am very particular about who that is, but I have never had to work in a GA or RPT situation where I had little or no choice about who I flew with in that sort of situation.
