Hello People,
I have had one for 11 years. I bought it after a lifetime of flying military, airlines and regulator and it has been a fun part of my life.
Much drama about how dangerous it is and the mnay traing deaths it has had but they are not any reason not to get one.
Fly the recommend numbers is all you need to do and it is a delight except.............there are two aircraft that i believe are a challenge to land........A B-727 and the PA 30.
You will always make them safe but seldom like the greasers you can do with three radio altimeters in a B-747.
Mental arithmetic for the slowing mind is great also. 1 litre a minute and you have the GFC immediately without a FMC.
I have tip tanks and all the usual IFR stuff but the high end avionics are too expensive for me.
As for real IFR, I have done more real IFR (cloudy stuff) in my "Chariot" as I call her............than a lifetime in other aircraft..............and in Australia that means real NDB's.
It is just great and I love the way I can stay in the industry when there are so many prima donna jerks who do nothing but whinge.
Best wishes and go for it.
