Learning to fly in a Baron 58P instead of a 172?
I’m 32 and looking at starting flight training. Through family/friends I connected with a very experienced ATP/CFI who offered to train me, and the plane would likely be a Baron 58P instead of the typical 172 route.
I know that’s unconventional, which is why I’m asking here before I jump into it.
Would starting in a twin like that actually hurt my development as a pilot? Or does it mostly come down to the quality of instruction and how the training is approached?
I’m planning on doing a local discovery flight and starting ground school either way. Just curious what people with real experience think about this path.
EDIT - This training will not cost me anything and I plan to fly this airplane almost exclusively and later on a Tecnam P2012 with this family friend/instructor.
