Of all the aircraft to pick why pick a King Air? After retiring from the airlines, and after spending 10 years on the Bus, I got rated in the King Air 300. I had flown an earlier version King Air in the early 1980's. The truly sad thing is how much alike they were. 12 anti / deicing switches, a B-29 pressurization controller that required technique to operate properly. A Byzantine electrical system with current limiters, hall effect devices, and an overall weird buss configuration.

I would think it would be much simpler to remote control a much more automated platform. To me flying a King Air 300 single pilot would be a very high work load, much higher than a lite jet. Yes computers are great and really skilled at doing things but this computerized flight control system will be a one-armed paper hanger just to operate the aircraft systems efficiently. Operating single engine or with a significant degradation in electrical power will be a challenge.

That's my $.02
