How many more charter piston twins do we need to crash in this country before we start looking at moving the GA industry into the 21st century?
Or more likely, look closely at operator philosophy, maintenance standards and most importantly, pilot training?

It may surprise you ga_trojan, but I suspect the King Air statistical accident record in Australia is not much better, and possibly worse than the PA31 series, comparing the number of airframes that have operated here.

Without giving Australian King Air fatal accidents too much thought, I remember King Air 200 at Adavale; King Air 200 into the sea wall at Sydney; King Air 200 VH-SKC that flew itself across Australia and the King Air C90 at Toowoomba. I'm sure there are a number more that have slipped my mind.
