HH. With the B350 MTOW > 5,700 kg (6,804 kg?) are two pilots required and will it be restricted from many of the bush strips currently serviced by the B200?
Hi Taily, B350 is certified for single pilot operations and will be operated as such, I do live in hope that two crew will become common place in aeromedical ops (in this country) sometime before I retire.

B350 will be excluded from some airports, but not a significant number, B200 will still be available for those operations!
So how's it going there 'HH"? Looking fwd to the big Beech?
Hi Wally, very much so, I've even seen them up close, but nobody will let me touch one yet!

PS: With regard to the higher probability of having an engine failure in a twin, I think am willing to manage that risk...
