PT6's/Turboprops

[661 KTAS]

Hi Folks,

Ill shortly be upgrading from piston twins to a turbine twin and am after some info on the PT6 (PT6A-112) or just turboprops in general.

Does anyone know of any good sites or reference books that can give me a good general knowledge on the operation of these engines ?? Im sure most of the nitty-gritty will be covered in the ground school but Id just like to do as much reading on the subject as I can beforehand.

Any tricks that a piston jockey needs to know ?? Starting etc ??

Any info would be much appriecated.

Thanks
