For private flying I don't think there is any mandated training as they are both covered on the same type rating. For an AOC you will need differences training as required with the Chief Pilot or TRE. But I think you should fly with an instructor in any case for private flying to pick up on the differences.

Things could be worse...at one time L1 to L2 or L anything else also needed Diffs!
Hi Idle Stop - this may have changed in the very recent past and if not, it may well change in the near future; however, up until very recently (weeks at most), you have not required an ATO to carry out differences training, it can be carried out by any suitably qualified TRI.

Thanks for the info, so just an FI/TRI required to do differences. In terms of a course syllabus, as there is no OSD published for 206L to 206B the instructor can simply create their own?
gulliBell, my first flight as pilot of a 206B was in a machine without duals!
The "captain" was in the left seat telling me what to do. Luckily just an intro flight, I already had 3000+ hrs in other Bell products, and there were no training sequences to cover, but still an unusual thing to do!
And it was 1978...probably wouldn't happen today.
