Lllama Farmer;

I bow to that; while I was typing I was trying to find the report, but couldn't. Found it now, it makes chilling reading.

Turbopropulsion;

Your PPL has given you a skill set designed to fit the type of aircraft you fly. Move onto other classes and your skill set is expanded for those areas. I did my PPL on a Tiger Moth at the end of the 1970's, getting out of a Tiger into a Commanche required a different approach to flying to achieve much the same aim. I find my current GA fixed wing flying helpful with my helicopter work (and vice versa) due to the routes and areas flown. The jet is totally different in terms of the flying, the approach to the flying is actually much the same.
