So, it's an aircraft that you can only get certified on by flying it, but you can't fly it without being certified in it.
This is the issue I am running into, no one really knows the proper career path to follow to end up in tiltrotors.
Even our chief instructors in the area are scratching their heads... helicopter pilots in the 15,000+ hour region who are well connected in the industry.
I emailed AW to try and get some clarity on how one would go about getting a rating for them, just waiting on a response back.
I'll post it here if they respond.
