Lack of New Single Engine Complex Aircraft
With most singles today being built with only a constant speed prop and flaps, they are missing the last needed item to be complex - retractable landing gear. There was talk of changing the definition a couple of years ago for singles but that seems to have stopped. They make a box that can be installed to simulate the lights and landing gear lever. Even more advanced boxes make the knock sound of the gear coming up and down. Anyone operating one of these boxes with approval to count it as complex in a single for commercial training?
