training issues
The big issue with changing from a seneca to an aerostar isn't that you probably can't fly the plane, it is that you have to make sure that you can get insurance. The aerostar isn't that hard to fly. It handles extremely well. It is fast and you need to keep up with it but changing from a 340 to the aerostar isn't dramatic and I think going from a smaller twin to an aerostar is very do-able. I will say I think the aerostar is the best piston twin (twin commander is the best turbine twin sorry MU-2 people). The aerostar is pretty fast at 240kt on 65% power (44 gph). Let's be honest, I like to know what the gph usage is for a plane especially when fuel is 5 bucks a gallon. Yes, there are roomier planes but for 3 hour trips or less the aerostar is fast and efffecient. The next move up would be a turbine plan e which of course is always nice.
