Single Engine Turbine time

[flyhighspeed300]

If you have less than 700 hours; single man crew flying is not available for you commercially. JAR OPS 1.960 rules.

Flying turboprop is great idea but very costly.
You can fly at Bristol aviation a Super King for £2,000 an hour or a C525 mini business jet for around £2,300 an hour.

This could be money for renewals or for you to keep flying every month.

I did look at flying turboprop aircraft to get more aviation experience but if you want to fly a king air commercially to earn and money you have to have more than 700 hours (JAR OPS rules). So I ended up not paying for a couple of hours. However I did manage to get some air observer work on a king air. Non log able air time, but great experience if you are lucky to get hold of it.[/font]

Turboprop aircraft would be yes hands down, but they come at a heavy cost. Can you afford to paid £2-5k a month to keep current on a turboprop aircraft knowing if you have less than 700 hours (JAR OPS rules) that you cannot earn any money from flying that aircraft single crew?

If you have the money there are places in the USA that offer flying time on turboprop aircraft. You do need an FAA Licence, which will not take too long to convert.
