Talk:Beechcraft Duchess

Aircraft
Hmm..

Not in total agreement with the text on this A/C. Many student pilots refer to the Piper Seminole as being under powered and the Beechcraft Duchess as being the more favourable kissing cousin..

 * I agree with this statement... I've found the Seminole to be underpowered compared to the Duchess. ChadScott 00:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

If anything less engine power makes single engine training easier. There is no requirement to hold altitude only airspeed and heading. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

I put back the part about altitude holding not being required on practical tests because it isn't. http://www.faa.gov/education_research/testing/airmen/test_standards/pilot/media/FAA-S-8081-14A.pdf Light twin airplanes are not required to hold altitude single engine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arf says (talk • contribs) 03:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
