4 ducks dead @ 6500asl in SK 2003. PA-31. one crumpled the nose, one in each engine, one hit left wing. stinky mess. spilled my coffee.

bose is most excellent. had it for over a year, flown both turbine and piston - does a fantastic job with both. flying king airs, the batteries (AA) last for 50 hrs. +. very light and comfortable, durablility hasn't been an issue. i think you can get them on ebay for a reasonable price.

you can carry more than 9 and not meet asda if you are under 12,500 with ops spec.

on the cost side of things, many companies these days operate two crew on single pilot machines because the yearly insurance savings actually pay for the f/o. as well, keeping aging autopilots operating can be financially infeasible for many northern operators. as far as safety is concerned, i think...

WESTON!

for an overweight lazy cat, birch was one hell of a mouser who kicked my dog's ass on numerous occasions. he also took down a fair sized weasel last year. a well adjusted hangar cat who will be missed (not by my dog).
