Advice on Turbine Theory
Lads, Tell me please about completing the Turbine theory Qual. What books / course recommended and costs etc. Thanks in advance.

"Turbine theory Qual"
Is there any such thing now days? I thought they did away with the BGT exam just after I passed it (typical!) - with 98% I might add! Dr |
It is now integrated in with the ATPL Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems exam.
Recommendation- AFT book. Passed the thing this morning. :ok: |
No such thing to be able to fly a turbine as such. If you're endorsed on a turbine powered aircraft, then you can go fly turbines (provided you're endorsed as required on the a/c, :ok:).

I've also seen ads for "turbine endorsement" training in the past. Am I right in saying this is not a CASA requirement, or something stated in the CAOs, but rather just somebody providing ad hoc turbine training along with flight training in a turbine a/c? |
Regardless of the MTOW a C-208 Caravan is a separate CLASS endorsement as per Appendix 1A Part 1 of CAO 40.1.0.
Probably because it has different systems to single piston types under 5700kgs. Cheers, Z.:ok: |
As far as I'm aware, a separate endorsement is required for:

Turbine theory
Suck, squeeze, bang, blow.
Though with today's new fangled turbines there's a couple of extra steps! Speaking of BGT etc, heaven help us when these VLJ's for GA pilots are unleashed! |
I thought it was as simple as wht it says in the regs, you are endorsed to fly a SE aircraft under 5.7K unless type endorsement specified (there is alist in the cao's somewhere)
I think it is a good idea if someone is going to do an endorsement they may aswell o some thery cant hurt can it.. |
A bit hard to tell, but I wonder if the person who posted the original query is in NZ? If so, there probably is still a BGT exam -or at least there was when I was last there 5 years or so ago! I certainly haven't heard of it's passing.
Is so, SimuFlight based out of NZAR offered those courses, as did several other training organisations around the country. Hope that helps! |
Cap'n Arrr
A Cri Cri? Now I wonder if you can log twin time in one of them? I think it would be a cool thing to play with.:ok: SQ |
"Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow"
Na! In a turbine its more like Suuuuuuuuuuck, Squeeeeeeeeeeeze, Baaaaaaaaaang, Bloooooooooow Dr :cool: |
For a bit of FACTUAL help here:rolleyes:
YES, NZ still has a BGT exam requirement, as does PNG these days as their regs are based on the NZ ones... Was someone seriously suggesting a special endorsement was not required for a C208?! I don't think so. Differences between single engine turbines and single pistons are rather extensive to say the least. Best theory books to hit up for turbine theory would be: - The Jet Engine (by Rolls Royce) - Aircraft Gas Turbine Powerplants (by Jeppessen) Very useful books and important to wrap one's head around the theory of jet engines - if you stuff up they are a heck of a lot more expensive to fix... Look up the NZ CAA website and find the syllabus for the BGT exam and it will give you a good idea of what areas are good to study! |
Did BGT in NZ a couple of years ago. I had zip experience on turbines and found the exam quite straight forward.
The key to passing is like all other exams.... study. Knox. |
FoxTailed... Isn't that the new guys trying to get their foot in the door, not the engine ?

Turbine Pilots Flight Manual pretty good text.
