3 axis autopilot would be number one towards making it a pilots airplane
An FMS that actually talks to its counterpart without needing a crossfill
Not needing to press alt sel everytime you change altitudes
Make the gear about 3 inches taller so we arent limited to 7.5 degrees before we strike the tail
A more accurate autopilot that can intercept a loc from a standard 30 degree intercept 10 miles out at 200 knots without flying through it and then S turning
Build the fastest part 121 turboprop in the world that cant do 250 knots below 8000 feet due to certification when the plane could easily do 300+ (illegally) but still...250 would be nice without the redline in the way.
A more bulletproof autopilot that does not kick off in light to moderate turb
Figure out a way to put a more forgiving gear on it..ive been flying it for well over a thousand hours now and a good landing is a guessing game for me and anyone ive seen fly it...there is no fool proof 100 percent trick.
For things that cant be changed for the common type rating...
Lose the condition levers...they are just buttons anyway with a few "settings" that could easily be replaced with buttons that are already in the plane.
FMS, Fadec, Glass....caution warning panel ?!....lose that stupid thing and put an EICAS in it.
minor annoyance....lose the bus tie switch that isnt actually connected to anything
While you are at it...put the wings under the fuselage because high wings are for primary trainers and look stupid.
And last but not least......pay me more to fly it
