Turbo-Prop regulations

[milkman92]

Hi all
I'm just looking for a point in the right directions of where to study for a new job potential on a C90 KA. Can someone point me in the right direction of where to find any regulations to start on?

I've heard Turbo prop aircraft require 50 ICUS but I can't find a reference for this:

Cheers

I suggest starting with the CAO's and CAR's.

Yes I've started there but just need some specific regs. Gone through the AIP and found some stuff in CAOs CARs just wanted more advice

[milkman92]

So there's no requirement for 50 hours ICUS?
Cheers thanks that helps me heaps I can stop searching for imaginary CARs

"and fly it like a normal twin engine aircraft"

But in full rich.

50 hours ICUS is more than likely an insurance requirement, often for those who do not have sufficient experience in a similar type. Some insurance requirements may require more, and/or a set TT, minimum hours of IF, multi etc before you're insurable on type.
Some requirements are sometimes waivable by the insurer, often at a cost! Think: putting an 18 year old male P plater with 6 speeding fines and a drink driving charge on your $120,000 turbo-charged sports car's insurance.... then add the "aviation premium" and up the insurable value 10-20 times!

I'm hoping in your extensive searches you've discovered the differences in fuel planning requirements, found out if the aircraft is RVSM and read about the regs to go with that, memorised all the Cat B speeds, know what's required to operate in class A airspace etc

Yes I'll read the cap on the fuel planning requirements for turbo aircraft and have read some on RVSM. I'll check out that class A airspace cheers.

Yes cat b specifics I've got down all good

50 hrs icus

You maybe referring to the requirement for a pic in aircraft above 5700 kg MTOW in RPT operations.

That IS funny.

So do turbines fly LOP or ROP?

You won't need to worry about RVSM in most turbo-props as they hardly get to RVSM levels. Here's some reading for you. https://www.casa.gov.au/file/104806/...token=pIVyJyir

Some of you guys need to have a read of CAO 82.0. Specifically paragraph 8A since it seems you lack the ability to research the actual requirements.

There's no valves to fry or cylinders to crack so it's a non issue.

Jab,

they all missed it, mustering pilots are not what they have been.

Rounded up No comment is better than lumps in it.

take care the red lever

I'm sure he'll reword it when he wakes up!
