A few days ago....

I finally passed 100 multi which means that according to some anonymous actuary at some insurance company I'm now smart enough to be a regional pilot.

Amazingly enough I've managed not to kill myself freight dawgin' in a Navajo these last 70 hours or so.

Ok, I'm done. Carry on......

I dont think I could fly a piston twin anymore...

I stay away from flight sim now... is scary.

Yes, but has the Navajo tried to kill YOU.....

Where you fly at tallflyer

not yet, although today I did let both outboards run dry just to see what would happen. Scary stuff.

If you don't scare yourself every now and then, what fun is flying?

Your first thousand hours in any aircraft is higher risk. Takes about that long to learn 99% of the intricacies and bad habits an airplane possesses.

Probably depends on the complexity of the aircraft. I'd wager I had most of the negative quirks of the PA32 ( don't forget to switch tanks when pax are onboard) in far less than 1,000 hours. The Lear is probably different.

The nice thing about single pilot freight is you can make all the mistakes you want without the benefit of an audience to make you feel like a dumbass.

I'd be inclined to agree with Zap on that one, I was learning weird thing about the Cherokee 6 all the way up until I left, and I've got a little north of 1200hrs in type.

Didn't help that your 6s were like snowflakes and most of them had been wrecked at some point.

Although, avoiding that feeling is a pretty good motivator

um, I'm pretty sure at the moment they're all yours.

lol, true.
