It's probably less complex (i.e., easier to fly) than a piston twin.




I agree, but that twin doesn't go 400 kts either. Easier to fly
doesn't help the judgment issue when things are happening fast.

Thurman Munson had the full Flight Safety course before he flew his
Citation into the ground. Probably was thinking of his next baseball
contract instead of the best way to shoot an ILS. How many Malibu's
and Bonanza's have come out of the clouds minus their wings? Those
are singles easier to operate than any complex twin.

It is my observation and the NTSB's that it is the non-professional
pilots who lack the experience and singular focus of professional
pilots that find themselves victims of those accidents, through no
fault of the airframe.

Unfortunately I think you will see the same pattern with privately
operated VLJ's
