Catching up on some reading, I noticed the survey of turbine aircraft in the AOPA Pilot June, 2011. I certainly is a lot of fun to compare my fuel flow, cost per hour, maintenance, range, fixed costs, and payload to their numbers. Some manufacturers don't even publish their fuel flow with the cruise data. I wonder what that could mean?

 Now, if we can just organize ourselves to match their safety record....  my airplane is missing a few of the certified(or USNmilspec) requirements, including egress and escape redundancy, fire detection/suppression/prevention, and "more successful" complete engine failure procedures.(multi-,BRS,eject, bail)

 I know of one installation of the BRS chute in an ES. Has anyone else installed one?
