The C90 is rated for single pilot. In fact, it requires no type rating at
all. It is fairly easy to fly, but I still have to think that flying a
multi-engine turboprop single pilot IFR has to be one of the most exhausting
jobs in aviation.

All single pilot IFR is exhausting. Most of my IFR was single pilot in
single and multi engine birds. Good pre planning helps a lot until all
hell breaks loose (

FTR, I was not the one worried about Jay handling the controls. I suspect
his biggest problem was a tendency to taxi too fast. Everyone does that
first time out in a King Air.

C.J. know that. I just hooked my comments behind yours to try to keep
in line on all the comments made. Sorry.

If he was in 'ground idle', speed was probably fast without a lot of
brake. Does the C90 have 'beta'? I used 'beta' in some of the birds I
flew to take some of the prop pitch off taxing so wouldn't wear the
brakes out.

Long time ago in a land far away )
