Single Pilot IFR 135 multi engine piston can be some of the hardest checkrides
in civilian aviation, and the workload is pretty damn high. Most of my friends
who have gone from the pt 135 freight world to the airlines, say the flying
part of the 121 checkrides is a lot easier, but you have to know much more
about systems and limitations. In 121 you have lots more bells and whistles,
plus an extra crew member to help, while in 135, its usually just you, and
flying off of raw data. Airline pilots consider raw data an emergency
situation (grin)
