Default Going for my Multiengine rating

My guess [guess] is that the school is skimping on some
detail maintenance known as lubrication. It is often not
done well or even at all.

There can be damaged pulleys too.

The Seneca is not a Beech Baron (very light and easy
controls) or a Duke which has very smooth controls that are
designed to be heavy for a less twitchy ride. The Duchess
is pretty good.

Do a thorough pre-flight and look for signs of corrosion or
other damage.

a beast...really.

Are there docile

driven haven't been
