Its always safer flying a twin in IFR conditions especially to places such as Connaught (Knock) EIKN in the West of Ireland where the field elevation is quite high
the cessna 310 has a very fragile nose gear, that is why I don't like it. Most of the videos you see about planes landing with the front gear retraction are cessna 310s. Just look at youtube. I am in the market for a B58 baron, it may be a bit more expensive but I beleive the extra price is worth it for a safer plane.
Nonsense, it's no more "fragile" than the gear on any other airplane. You can buy 2 or 3 310s for what a BE58 will cost and have a LOT less room inside and use more fuel to go the same speed. I have about 6000 hours in a 310 and around a thousand in Barons...I like the Cessnas a LOT more for economy and comfort. I wonder if you really know anything about airplanes.
I couldnt agree more man, we are looking at a 1975 M Model with great times and maintenance history. Check it out on controller. Search Mitsubishi, Its under the M model section, N305DS...but Im really working on figuring out what possible reason he could see for rotating the props backwards.
not sure if you missed the part where he is flying with an instructor, who is the PIC and should have made sure that he was going easy on the airplane
its not his right to abuse the airplane, because the chances are that he doesnt own the airplane. Also, i wasnt busting him, I was busting the instructor for letting him do it
Justin TALONEY of TALONEY Air Service.... *IF* he owns the plane, he can treat it however he wants..
I agree with the rest of the guys here, see no reason to prop the motor through in reverse, also noticed he made zero radio calls entering the runway..
My family owns a 1982 Cessna 414AW, we used to own a 1978 CESSNA 310R, we may be stepping up to an MU-2 soon, I have almost 400 hours of twin cessna right seat time with a 35 year pilot who is a CFII-M, and I have over 70 hours of left seat twin cessna experience in aircraft such as the 310, 414, and 441. I routinely fly twin cessna s with a pilot that has owned nothing else for 25 years, so believe me when I say what proper technique looks like.
Why did you manually turn the prop through several times? That sort of thing is necessary in a radial, but not in an opposed engine like the O-470. Besides, turning it backwards like you did, you run the risk of breaking a carbon vane in the vacuum pump (they wear in a specific way when the engine is running).
not to mention that he is retarted for turning the prop backwards.....carbon vanes in vac pumps and the rotators in the mags are very vulnerable...easy to break one doing that.
yea Justin's confidence is catching . a good instructor

Justin is an instructor, but he's also a working pilot for a private firm. He's a great guy. Living the dream.

Ok Goose.. Didn't mean to offend you or Maverick..
I believe it's the instructors aircraft, I guess if wants to abuse that, it's his right..
Busting on a guy with 1 hour in an aircraft is just pointless..
I guess both you and Maverick were ace of the base on your second flight.. ;)
