New Pilot looking at 337’s

[Dr.Dan]

Others with more experience will chime in I'm sure, but I'll give you my perspective as another novice pilot.
I bought a pressurized skymaster as my first plane after completing my PPL. I also did conventional multi training on a seneca. The reason I got the skymaster is because it suits my mission well which is flying over the Rockies between Alberta and British Columbia. I like idea of two engines while over big snowy mountains. I also really like the pressurization so I can get up over the rocks.
As mentioned, I am a novice pilot but the skymaster is generally easy to fly. It was a decent step up in speed over the 172 I trained on, but not too different from the seneca. Operating costs are significant due to the two engines and complex systems, but so far, in my opinion it's worth it.
