Yes but there is very clear and unamibigous guidance with them in the AFM the turbocomander never gave me a problem...that's my only experience with Garrets...but when I said that I was really thinking of 'Big-pistons' especially when they have superchargers and turbochargers and such...none of which I ever got to fly...not bog standard Lycoming/Continentals...to me those big pistons seem real hard,...
turbines require just following what the course taught you...big pistons seem like black magic....USE a good GPU...don't go to the cheap FBO...
