Route for Turbine Time?
(as a wannabe in preparation...)
Once I reach the coveted 1,000 hours as a CFII, assuming it's in the R22 or Schweizer how do you progress from there to Turbines?
Should I assume that I need to pay for the turbine endorsement or is it likely that a tour operator or some other organisation (perhaps even where I instruct as a CFII) will be prepared to train and employ me? It seems most job offers want at least 500 in turbines.
Is this watershed easier or harder than getting your first job as a CFII? Are there similar insurance requirements to SFAR where one would need a minimum number of hours before flying charter flights etc?
Any indication as to how things generally roll out would be appreciated.
Thanks
