TBM-850 - Flying on an ATPL?
I've searched the forum and various others without success and also scoured JAA and LASORS without finding a definitive answer so......
I hold a current UK ATPL(A)
I have over 5,000 ME multi-crew commercial hours on turbo-props and jets
I have around 3,000hrs PiC on the above.
I need to renew my IR (Got that in hand)
Medical is valid.
Having been made redundant 2 years ago, I have now been offered an exec job flying a TBM-850. I have enquired about courses and SimCom seems to be the best deal but only offers FAA endorsements.
Can I operate a TBM-850 legally after doing the manufacturers approved course at SimCom?
Do I need to obtain an EASA SE Single Crew Turbo-prop rating? If so, is that obtained separately and where?
SimCom are unsure and it would appear that the answers are not readily found. I guess most people go from such types to the commercial world and not the other way round?
Any pointers appreciated, preferrably with a reference to be able to quote to the CAA.
