My Apache Training
I recently purchased my first twin.
A 1957 Piper Apache.
I have been training in it for my Multi, Commercial, Instrument all at
once.
I am very impressed on how this thing handles.
We finally got into all the single engine ops today, and I am grinning from
ear to ear. We did actual shut downs and securing.
The VMC demo is almost non existing. We went past 85mph right to about 60mph
and then it stalled. And the stalls themselves, both power on and off are
very subtle, just a buffet, no break.
I am very happy with this plane and cant wait for the checkride.
PS: We have been training full fuel , max gross or close to it....
