Yeahhh operations are under VFR and pure dead reckoning/pilotage

Very valid point. It gave you a sense of safety sometimes, especially because you always got airborne before VMC.

no restroom?

Very nice!. I wish more folks would do a rundown like this of their particular aircraft. Other than seeing them at the airport, this is the first time I have seen the interior and cabin. I always figured the Twin Otters had all the fancy equipment like all the other aircraft, this supprised me that the otter, at least this one, is pretty much a VFR craft with very minimal equipment. Thanks for the overview!

Thanks much for clarification. no one quit during my period. but i remember one engineer got fired because he refused to sign for what he didn't do . there is no point of talking about management. i signed a agreement after being hired. when i went to Maldives to work ' they gave me a different agreement to sign.

@fly4fun Are you sure you want to "simply pull back the power and land straight ahead" if there is huge swell or other obstacles? Like um the reef or the runway? I would have rather had the autofeather.

this company sucks i worked there as a technician, they hire unqualified philipino
" technicians" over qualified ones depends how much they suck the Canadian engineers c**k. be careful if you fly those.i got fired because i was against their unsafe aviation technical practices.they hire carpenters and house electricians for their aviation maintenance crew, cos they supply women to the Canadians.

Since they're flying from water, if they lose an engine they can simply pull the power back and land straight ahead. The autofeather system on the Twin Otter occasionally activated even though an engine failure hadn't occured. So it's one less thing to worry about when flying from floats.
