Hola Keygrip -

I think you speak CAA or JAR regulations for your statements.
And the other guys mention FAA regulations.
So comparing oranges and apples.

I do not see a C-208 as requiring a type rating under FAA rules.
It is a "complex" airplane over 200 hp... just a proper check-out required.
Just "ASEL" as they call it - Airplane Single Engine Land... (or "Sea" if applicable).

I do not know anyone who flies a C-208.
But I have an acquaintance flying a Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter in Alaska.
Powered by Garrett TPE 331 "turbine" engine.
Never told me he required a type rating.
Falls under FAR 61.31 - same class as a C-208.

Could you clarify if you speak JARgon... or FAA...?
