they are nice machines.

They fly like any other SEP.

But they require a reasonably in depth systems knowledge to be safe. Certainly to a much higher level than most SEP's in fact more so than some of the high power SET's

The one I was in the PIC if he had been my FO would have got a huge post flight bollocking for having there head down way to much fannying around with "systems" when you could see the sodding runway from 20-30 miles away. Screwing around with the AP while doing a visual approach for gawds sake.

Look out the ing window and land on the runway FFS.
