Can PPL (SEP) fly Cessna 208?
No.
Around 12 years ago, the UK joined JAA and adopted the JARs. As a result, dispite being assured by our CAA that it wouldn't happen, UK PPLs lost the right to fly any turbine engined aircraft when their 'A' and 'B' ratings were replaced with the new SEP and MEP Class Ratings.
Since then, all turbine engined aircraft have required a Type Rating, or a Class Rating restricted to individual manufacturers. eg, Cessna SET, Rockwell MET.
At the same time, the Piper Malibu SEP was deemed far too complex to be included in the SEP Class Rating, and became the only SEP with it's own Type Rating.
