Christ!... i would have never thought flying a single could be so complicated these days. But then i looked at the trend that is developing in aviation these days where there is the lack of hands on flying as demonstrated by the accident report on the crash of AirFrance A330 over the Atlantic recently.
The turbo Airvan is one more step towards development of high performance automated complex aircrafts that will be piloted by uni graduates with only sim time on their hands and no real flying experience.
I feel sorry for the newbies heading for the north hoping for the break in aviation but lacking experience in "turbo airvans".
I may be old fashioned in my thinking but over the hill is sometimes better than under it.
