Thanks Jabba, know APA and the legends in the states, been running LOP on every thing for about 8 years, think that's why we are still in business. This is next round of economics.
My pilots don't like the idea of an air van as they are used to the bit more TAS and I can hear them all saying "are we there yet." However had a few chats to other operators they say they are very forgiving to fly don't have any bad traits so good for newbies, they said the biggest difference is you don't have to wait for a couple of weeks with the Airvan to come back from a 100 hrly like you do with a 200 series.
Talking with lames 100 hrly takes about half the time as you don't have an AD,s list as long as your arm to check each time. However I haven't checked as yet to what the current AD list is like for the 206H or the restart Cessnas that's going to be my reading for the weekend.
