Starting Off in a Turbo Prop.

Well, I'd say it's better off that Low- Hour Pilots should start off in Turbo Props. The complexity of a Turbo Jet can be really hard to put up with if you are fresh out of a Piston Engine Cockpit. The Props help us grapple it by step, and since it's not as complex as a Turbo Jet, it shall make it easy for us to understand the Mechanism and Operations of a Turbo Jet in no time.

Cheers,
