I attached what needs to be accomplished to obtain a turbine waiver over here in the USA (see page 2 of the attached doc.). For me, with lots of Giant plane fight time and a couple flights on my own Sprint, it was easy. Getting a Turbine waiver should not be difficult for a very experienced flyer. IMHO why waste $s on an EDF. Just get right to turbines. But, again, I spent some of the previous summer hanging out with Jet Guys with my nose down in their planes and the previous winter reading about the electronic systems in a jet, building a Sprint and lots of time on RealFlight's L-39. I never did buddy box for practice. The involved CDs were familiar with my experience level and just let me go for the waiver, which I qualified for on my first flight.
