Useful Type Rating
People who know me know that I am dead against the 'paying for a type rating' argument. However, there seems to be quite a few wannabes who are prepared to go down this path.
So - with the introduction of the new single-engine turbine IFR legislation on the horizon I am suggesting to wannabes that if you are interested in paying for a type rating you should be looking seriously at the C208 or PC12. Sure, single-engine time in the logbook but they have more modern systems than you will find in any F27, it's a turbine engine and they are operated in copious numbers around the world.
Forget about paying for F27, SH360 and 737 type ratings (leave that for the employers!). If you must - go and get yourself an SET rating that will be of some use in the future.
