What's the difference SEP to SET?
I have been wondering for some time the difference between: SEP (single engine piston) rating with Turbo differences, and a SET (single engine turbine) rating (in EASA land...).
After doing some digging it seems that most of the HPA (high performance aeroplanes) tend to require a SET with SP (single pilot) HPA rather than a SEP with turbo differences and SP HPA.
For instance, the Cessna Caravan, TBM930, PC-12...etc... Require SET type rating, despite them having an engine with a propeller. (in my mind that means Turbo-Prop - rather than Turbo-Fan). Yet, to fly a turbo arrow, or a Saratoga, or an SR22T... You only need a SEP with Turbo differences. Would it not make sense for it just to be on the SEP with SPHPA (where SEP would mean Single Engine Prop) Alternatively, wouldn't it make sense for these other turbos (PA28RT, SR22T, PA32....etc...) to also require a SET instead?
Anyway - probably too logical an argument! But I'd be glad to have a little light shed on this!
