Similar thing happened to Doug White in 2009 while in a twin-engine King Air 200. He had limited flight experience on single-engine Cessna 172s, but no flight experience on a King Air 200.

- knodi123 4y agoIf you've learned how to glance at airspeed, how to pitch for speed, and when to flare, you're 90% of the way there. Those are the hard parts you need practice for. Right? And everything else, ATC can talk you through. I mean, a King Air is going to have dual engine controls, but you only operate them both in sync. It will have manual gear, but you just need to find the control and activate it. I'm not that surprised an experienced cessna pilot could land a complex twin engine.
