I am from the UK but currently living in the US for about 6 months. I have lots of turbine experience but no waiver, as we don’t have that process. I wanted to bring a small jet with me (Sebart Mini Avanti) but I couldn’t see any way to get a waiver (without borrowing someone else’s bigger jet) so I left it at home. It was too difficult for me to bring a bigger jet for such a short period of time.

Part of me thinks the waiver is a good idea, but the process doesn’t seem to fully cater for all aspects of the jet community.

As for the small jets, we’ve had limited success here with the P20 on a Savex L39. I used to fly one with a 7lb wren 44 so I think it would go well with a Kingtech 30. The small Sebart jets (Mini Avanti, L39, Aermacchi MB339 and soon the Hawk) seem to be amongst the best models for small turbines that I have seen.
