Turboprops

Postby airmanc81 » Thu Jun 03, 2004 10:26 pm

Does anyone know generally what kind of requirements, certifications and/or amounts of flight time, are required for flying a turboprop?  I know complex aircraft generally require like 100 hours of flight time, but is it the same for turboprops?

At least a PVT/multi and type rating for that aircraft. But........unless you're independently wealthy and can afford to buy you're own, you won't be able to rent, lease or fly a turbo prop aircraft, as the Captain with less the 1,500hrs. That's not a written law, just an industry accepted standard.
.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......
