I flew the bandit for AirNow for 3 years and it was an easy plane to fly(actually the first twin I ever soloed..). Fairly simple systems, definately not too much for 1 pilot to handle in an emergency. Trainging was OK, in my opinon they really need a sim though. You just cant realistically simulate some things while in an actualy aircraft. These accidents are giving the bandit a bad name, a 172 will be a "widow maker" if you run out of fuel, dont fly the published miss right, etc.. I think the main thing here is incompetant pilots. Single pilot freight isnt for everyone as too many unfortunate souls have proven.
