Immelmann the PW150A produces around 10% of it's thrust using exhaust gases. Please continue to tell me how this is similar to my car. Then continue to tell me how a turboprop isn't a gas turbine engine.
RHS,
I have not mentioned that it is not a gas turbine engine. I know PW100s thoroughly (as well as other P&W turboprops and turboshafts). From the inside. 10% of thrust (if true, I have no reliable data about this) still does not make it a jet engine. I would consider it a side effect. This is not a place to explain differences between engines. This should be taught on a theoretical course, or at the university and this thread's topic is about Flybe's F/O recruitment which requires JOC to fly a turboprop -> this is my point. We should not continue to argue who is right or not, it's pointless and waaay off-topic. Some very interesting and wise portion of comments may be found above regarding this silly (to me) requirement.
