Question on Baron 58 prop control

The dead pilots to whom I referred had died in air accidents due to their own mistakes. Human beings make mistakes. Take any number of your posts, for examples. You can't presume to know what a pilot's attitude was from the fatality statistics. You can when you read the accident reports or the CVR transcripts. Such reports only tell you the presumptions of the reporters, and CVR transcripts generally only tell you the resolution process after some problem has arisen. The rest is your imagination. Neil |

Question on Baron 58 prop control
I was just about to ask!
I heard a story about a (sim) real hard landing that blew a seal in a hyd cylinder.. The sim here (talked my way into that in return for a "demo" flight with one of my Radio controlled helis) could shake you really good if you were pushing it... Cheers!
