I'm saying that to operate ANY sophisticated turbine to a FULLY professional level, you need a Sim Level D annual refresher.

If there is not one available in the country, then you have to go wherever there is one.

The US seems to be the cheapest alternative overall.

The industry at large, as usual, has it upside down.

I draw a really long bow here, but you are probably safer in a new B350 "without" annual Level D recurrency than in a really old B200/Conquest clunker "with", if only because the likelihood of a problem occuring is less, because its newer.

The irony is that the B200/Conquest clunker operator is the least likely to understand and more likely be unable to afford the Level D training.

As usual the aircraft that are likely to require the MOST skill and experience are relegated to those with the LEAST
