You are saying exactly word for word what I am thinking.
The term "more bang for your buck" springs to mind in comparing the differences between the 2!
In relation to the military training on Turbines, that doesn't really hold water, Commercial operators are going to be far more cost efficient then the military (Cause its their money!), yet when given the chance they carry out all there basic training out on Pistons single engine aircraft!
IT DOES NOT take a couple of hundred hours to get used to a Fadec system!
People in the CAA who make these decisions have never had to count there own pennies, and have been so busy spending other peoples money there whole working life, they have forgotten how important it is for other people to earn a living.
I always hope when a topic like this is arises here, that somebody who makes these decisions will see logic, and notice the benefit of helicopters. And make or reverse decisions accordingly.
That will always be the dream
