Don't forget norm a turbine equipped machine is generally faster, carries more punters and is more complex in its systems.

Whilst never having flown a bandit, twotter or gonad they all are slow and docile machines.

However, they carry more than 10 punters, weigh more than 3500 kg, are all weather aircraft and they generally operate in remote areas with arduous conditions (regional Australia, tropics, png highlands etc etc).

I'd want someone with more than 2000 hours at the controls who had a few tricks in his nav bag too.
