And not always, at that. I know a guy who got his multi in a Seneca
after he bought an old 55 Baron. IIRC he had about 400 hours TT when he
started flying the Baron and never had any type-specific training. As a
result of this (possibly) he grabbed the wrong handle on a go-around
one day and raised the gear instead of flaps & went skidding down the
runway. 6 months and 100k later he was back in the air with two new
engines and props and a reskinned belly. Ouch.
