I hope the King Air crews receive proper and sufficient initial and annual training. This needs to be done using full flight simulators and experienced instructors.
The King Air 350 is one of the greatest airplanes ever built. It just needs to be maintained and flown correctly, like every other airplane.
Nigeria, buy this STOL plane, the best one

Am absolutely sure most nations wouldn't be using these classes of air crafts in their fleets ..why do we go for cheap and outdated equipment at the expense of our well trained personnel in all fields endeavors...imagine loosing these lives to just carelessness and overriding the right things to be done.I weep seriously for our country..
