And CAPS, a parachute for the whole airframe, which adds a decision that does not exist in other light singles: at what altitude, in what circumstances, and instead of what. That decision is taught here as a procedure with numbers attached, not mentioned as a feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur position, stated against the more expensive sale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost students should not learn to fly in this airplane. A panel that pre-digests information builds a weaker instrument scan in a beginner, and that scan has to be rebuilt later at your cost.

If that is you, this is the efficient path and the price is published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"apfsp\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf your reason for wanting this airplane is that it is nicer, buy the cheaper program.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"apfstd\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow this airplane is operated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fleet is bought, not borrowed.
