Twin engine training

[kabz]

I fitted in a few hours in a Bonanza just prior to going to ATP to do my private multi, and boy did that help ...

The Bonanza is fun to fly, but stuff happens fast in it, especially in the pattern where it will drop the nose and speed up whilst you are checking the (faint) gear light on the obsessive GUMPs checks ;-)

I found the PA44 pretty docile in the pattern in comparison. It was loads of fun on one (simulated) engine also, like trying to land a feather when feathered ...

i guess im the only one to disagree.

the extra cost isn't worth the "extra" 20 or so hours you will get in multi-time. with todays hiring environment it does not matter if you have these additional 20 hours.

most students are still learning how to fly up to their commercial. stick with a single and learn in that. use the savings from not flying the twin to buy extra time in it.

get your cfi as fast as possible and start building total time. once you hit 1000TT then start worrying about multi-time.
