The Multi Column has allways been the most important one to me. It looks good I think when ya have more twin than single, but beggers cant be choosers.
Caravan will you get Left hand seat or right hand seat time?
Doesnt really matter, I would suggest sticking with the Chieftain. I wonder if Multi-Crew Caravan would be recognised by the CAA. Id say most likely not.
Depends, can you get onto anything bigger after the Van ie. progression?
Operating a Turbine is no big deal its easy especially a van, its very easy to operate. So getting turbine experience may or may not help.
If you look at Cathays application from, it has all different twin time columns with a single engine Misc COLUMN of which your caravan time would end up in.
Is it free the rating, is there a bond etc. All this has to be weighed up.
tuff decision mate really
Good Luck
