Are complex aircraft complicated to fly?

Take the Air Safety Institute quiz and find out

At some point after earning your pilot certificate you may fancy flying an airplane that’s bigger, faster, and sexier than the old trainer you’ve come to know so well. But making such a transition requires additional instruction to learn new and more complex aircraft systems and operating procedures—beyond what you’ve come to know during basic flight training. While you tackle this rewarding challenge to hone your skills and improve technique, why not find out how much you already know with the Air Safety Institute’s Transitioning to Complex Aircraft safety quiz? Sharpen your knowledge and exercise your brain before your next dual flight. The quiz is underwritten by the AOPA Insurance Agency Inc.
