I am not blind - I already saw that, I also note, as I believe Genghis did that is says :-
So it would seem you do NOT have to have turbo OR VP props and whilst I suspect most will have Tailwheel and many will have VP prop I really doubt there are a majority of coaches with turbo, It would seem to back up Genghis's statements that, In all probability, not ALL LAA coaches can do VP props, rather than yours that they ALL can, in fact I would even think there is the odd LAA coach out there that cannot do tailwheel.
If the LAA IS insisting on this - WHY? How many LAA aircraft are fitted with Turbo - I would have thought more are fitted with Retracts (which I notice is not a requirement) than turbo? I am not LAA committee so not my area of expertise, but are they encouraging suitable people to be coaches or just being bureaucratic for the sake of it?
Whilst the following are not minimum requirements
