SET Rating- TBM Specific.
Hi
I am interested in the rules and regs surrounding the SET rating, specifically concerning the TBM 700/850.
Having read Lasors, my understanding is:
1. If the pilot is an ATPL holder they may go straight to a course on that specific aircraft, and upon meeting all the JAR FCL requirements have their licence endorsed.
2. If the pilot is a PPL holder, they must first of all complete a High Performance Aircraft (HPA) course. Then they may procede as an ATPL holder would, obviously subject to the restrictions a PPL will place on their flying.
Would anyone have further knowledge on this, or indeed am I ill informed? These are the only two licences we are dealing with. And at the moment assume the aircraft is on the UK register, JAA ATPL's and UK PPL.
If this is the case does anyone know where if at all this HPA theoretical course can be taken?
Cheers
