I think that Bro has an autopilot. That bird is advanced compared to the days of the mighty Beech. Nothing like hand flying a VOR/DME arc step down over 11,000ft. peaks, in moderate turbulence, moderate icing, blizzard conditions, at night into Ely, NV. But I did see the Bro come directly over San Jacinto peak at night, (nasty visual) into Palm Springs about a year ago. I was like, AH, miss those nights, chop and drop, turboprop pilot's kickass. Twice the pilot, half the pay. I earned my wings after my check ride. I grew balls after flying a Beech. From the Nor-Easters, to the Midwest Squalls and the Big Granite west. All pilots should start in a turboprop.
