Who has flown the Seneca II for their multi ?
I started doing my multi add on in the Duchess and loved it.. the aircraft is down for repair just 1 flight before I got the sign off for the check ride.. What now? The school got a turbo charged 230 HP Seneca II to continue my training.. I will get the high performance sign off with that too... Any thoughts ? I LOVED flying the Duchess 76 ...

my two cents....it can be easier said than done...Its all about pitch, trim, power....this is what i taught, single engine aircraft C172, i had the student trim for level flight at 90 KIAS which was about 1900 rpm...Then have the student reduce power to 1700 rpm. the same practice works for multi engine normal ops and single engine work, except you change MP.
practice single engine ops in the practice area first, once your zero thrust is set, and youve trimmed for zero sideslip, once trimmed for level flight you can reduce power and retrim for a constant rate descent
practice making power changes in terms of 1" MP to 2" MP (changes on your operating engine. Set the change and see what happens.

Im sure it can be done but not just on the 11th hour of my check ride... I want to get the check ride done and then in time , I can worry about the flight characteristics of another twin and getting familiar with it ..
if anyone knows a flight school in FL with a Duchess, please let me know ASAP !

Ok everyone.. Flew the Seneca II high turbo today... flew rather well.. Considering only 1.5
A bit tricky on the landing.. sloppy approach and high and fast... but the landing came out well in the end!!
Any advice on M.P. and rpm for cruise, descent and approach to land is appreciated!!
thank you!!
