Agreed. I've flown a couple of jets and the Dash is more complicated by far. It is amazingly forgiving though. If anything, our folks will have to remember to get slowed up/configured earlier. Picture this...I fly with more than a few who routinely do 200-210 down the chute. ATC (getting worried) tells us to reduce to final approach speed, and we chuckle for a second...ohhkay. Then it's power levers to idle and bring the props up to max/drop gear/flaps for a beautiful, stabilized approach at 120 knots by 500 feet on a visual. I'll miss this old bird when she's gone....
