Transition to Turboprop

[readbackcorrect]

Anyone able to outline what was involved in their transition from piston to turbines? Groundcourse, simulator work, briefings etc.

Obviously company dependant but interested in whats involved and necessary for a pilot making the change. Also interested in transition to Jet Heavies.

Thanx

I've made several transitions (upwards and downwards)- pistons>4 eng heavies>bigger heavies>HS748 twin turboprops>shorthaul twins>really big heavies.

In each case, none of my anxieties materialised. You very rapidly transition to the new scene. So what is involved? Enjoying it- it's the most tremendous fun! You will find you adapt very very quickly- just bump up your speed as required.

Never underestimate these courses, or take the result for granted.
This is good advice!:ok:
