Cheers for the big bite big jarv!

Just some points:

I assume you flew the dash before you flew a jet (when you knew no better)
No, the other way around in fact.

you associate the dash to a twin 4-6 seat piston!! What are you on about?!?!?! That is ridiculous!! Funny too!! I mean there are 70 seats of inertia difference between them to start with
As there are between a Dash and a 'jet' but hey, lets not use the same yardstick!

cause the Duchess had loads of glass cockpit stuff
What difference does that make? You can still, I hope, control an aircraft with reference to a 'real' or a glass AH can't you?!

the real difference between them is you can reliably land a duchess well where as it is total pot luck on the dash
Ah ha, the real crux of the matter. This is what I've been trying to get you Dash pilots to admit to for ages! So thanks. But a rough landing does not a bad aircraft make. Like I said it's to do with the design and not the ease with which you can fly it. I gave up trying to land it smoothly and just landed it properly instead!

Oh and for a serious response
Boring!

trying to prove..... what point exactly?!?!
None, none at all, just killing time having a robust discussion!

Chief,
No trimming
No aileron during efato
AP at 100 ft
Autoland in cat 3a conditions on one engine in a 20 crosswind
Not really flying then! More akin to being dragged around the sky by a robot.

Im always bemused to witness individuals who by the very nature of their jobs should have pragmatism, logic and common sense in spades.
Freud would say...umm...the devil makes work for idle hands

Yours,
