Anbody learn to fly in a high performance complex aircraft? Bonanza,
Saratoga, 182RG and the like?


A friend of mine once taught a primary student in an Apache (twin
engine complex). Took the guy 50 hours to solo.


If some-one is learning to fly a complex aircraft that is the basis of
his knowledge.
He doesn't 'know' how difficult it is as he has no other experience.


The biggest question in that scenario is how was the student able to
aquire the required solo time since most insurance co's will not
ensure student pilots in a twin.
