Turbine waiver for helicopters?
Does anyone know or has heard about what the AMA is doing toward turbines in helicopters? I haven't heard if a waiver will be needed or not. Or if so what the criteria to obtain one will be.

Turbine waiver for helicopters?
I checked on this with the AMA just a week or two ago. A waiver will be needed, but they are still working out what the sign-off requirements need to be since the current guidelines address fixed wing use only.
The AMA has received suggestions from "a state side turbine distributor regarding a helicopter turbine unit", is working with them on the requirements, and is set to discuss modifications to the safety regs (etc) at their next safety committe meeting in April.
