They're all correct! The cheapest twin you can find.

That doesn't look like it will be its last flight.

They are all the same shit, different pile to employers.

Cheapest may not be best - I would look for a twin with a Garmin 430/530 as a minimum. Those cost $$

King Air 1 or 200... Do your IFR in it too.. by the time you're done you'll have a PPC and everyone will want to hire you

You can play with the Garmin simulators for free on the internet.

Go with the least expensive aircraft you can find, within reason.

Save the extra cash for a roadtrip, or accomodation, or moving expenses etc. related to finding employment.

Your real multi experience will begin when you get your first multi job.

Ok... serious reply... if you're planning to do your IFR... you'll potentially save yourself an hour or two by going in the same aircraft. Personally.... I wouldn't buy into the hype of GPS in a twin. If the prices are the same, of course, get some GPS training... but I have found that some school will charge more just because of something that... at the end, will not get you any further in a job search etc.

I was kind of serious about the KA... but in reverse... this happened to me... a school tried to sell me on a bigger twin (which of course costed more per hour) because it was "similar" to aircraft flying with Pax.

No matter what kind of aircraft you do your rating in you're still going to get more training IF you're planning to continue in aviation as a career. Just check the Journey Log book... the worst thing that can happen (in any training) is for the aircraft being down for unforeseen maintenance more than it's flying.

I know of one in the States, a conversion of the Champ/Citabria airframe with two 90H/P engines mounted on the wings, tri gear and simulated feathering levers and gear selector, this is the sort of airframe we need these days with fuel costs the way they are, a twin Rotax small airframe would also do the job, a bit on the lines of the Wing Deringer {spelling?} of a few years back.

There was a version known as the Lancer built by Champion Aircraft.

There was one at the Elko airport in BC a few years ago (my CP did the owner's multi endorsement) but I believe it crashed.

Engine failure procedure was to shut the remaining engine down and set up for a forced approach.

As far as twin training goes I'd still go with the cheapest. I got a resume from someone who is doing their Multi IFR on a Cessna 340. All that tells me is they have a lot of money to throw around.

Our twin when we get it

Nappy:

I agree with MichaelP - you want a wicked twin to learn on, by far, you will get ahead there!

Cheers,

The cheapest one!

But the Aztec is a great light twin to complete your MIFR! Was the cheapest one in my area & 140 more HP then the competitor's.
The power & price was just right for me

Did I write that?????

We are not planning to get a Meteor nor a Mosquito in spite of my preferences...
We are looking at a Geronimo, and this is an easy twin to fly, very safe, and able to stay above the local mountains if one engine fails.
I don't know why manufacturers failed to make pleasant aircraft to fly after the Apache/Aztec masterpieces.

Yes, Cessna Bobcat/Beech 18/DC3/Lockheed 10/Avro Anson and even better Airspeed Oxford would be ideal!
