....the answer is in the left seat. Operate them according to their
abilities and limitations and you'll do just fine. The fact that you
can't do that on a casual basis, and get away with it as easily as you
can with a 172, seems to escape some people. That sort of thinking is
the inspiration for the Darwin awards.

At least the comment had something to do with aviation -- a nice change
from the rest of the thread.

Agreed. I forgot the smiley! g


The cost of maintaining and operating a twin, along with the absurd
insurance rates, mean that the only ones operating twins are people with a
good bit of money to throw around. If they have that money, those that have
to work for it are too busy (possibly)to keep current and do recurrent
training, and get in over their heads.

That's my theory, anyway! g
