Of course what Ralf Sorrells says is true for any airplane. There is an AD
on the MU-2 that requires a bunch of modifications to the airplane that none
of them have. The FAA decided to allow an AMOC (alternate method of
compliance) where MU-2 pilots are required to get "approved" training
instead of the modifications to the airplanes. The only approved training
is from Simcom or Reese Howell and by looking at their enrollment, you can
conclude that only about half the pilots are undergoing training. The FAA
should get proactive and start grounding the pilots who aren't in
compliance, but that would be too easy. I guess they figure that each
accident eliminates one airplane and one out or compliance pilot.


What does the AD require? what do they do? how does training replace it?

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
