From Bell Agusta website about 609:
(
www.bellagusta.com faq's)
"Is a special license required to pilot the BA609 Tiltrotor?
Yes. A BA609 pilot requires a FAA pilot certificate with a category rating in the "Powered Lift" category (this is an additional category which is different from the Airplane and Rotorcraft category ratings). In addition, a type rating in the BA609 is a required endorsement to the pilot certificate."
Yes please,
Rotorcraft
