Turbine Time
another question, would appreciate if anyone has any information.
If you have Fixed-wing Turbine time/experience Eg: Turbo Prop or Jet,
but little helicopter turbine time (Eg: Basic Endorsement), will the fixed-wing turbine experience help in getting onto a rotary turbine gig & do insurance companies value fixed-wing turbine time ?
They way I see it is, your still operating a turbine engine. Apart from the obvious difference in flight characteristics from fixed-wing to rotary, you still operate with Torque limits, ITT(T5) or TOT guages & limits, Ng Limits, Hot starts and the same emergency's, flame out's etc. You still have a thorough understanding of turbine principles etc.
I've e-mail some insurance companies and am awaiting there reply, but in the mean time, if anyone would care to shed some light on the matter it would be greatly appreciated.
