Recollections: Have flown the Duchess 10 times, each time while attending either initial or recurrent training at the National Test Pilot School (NTPS), an excellent school about which I’ve written in other posts.
I don’t like the Duchess. Sorry. It kinda flies like a wet noodle. Probably makes it a good test pilot school aircraft and I assume it’s pretty cheap to operate for multi-engine training.
