Few customer of my having the same problem getting the waiver. Even their are dawn good pilots. To get the ducted fan go over 150mph cost around $3000 to built one. Not to mention all kind of problem with ducted fan engine.
Why buddy box system can't be use for turbine training?
Let said the guys buy a trainer turbine jet. He ask for good turbine pilot train him on buddy box system. Than he go for CD to sign him off.
This is more real turbine training. I don't think is safe for the guys got their waiver and never had any stick time with the turbine. The change of them screwing up is high at the first couple flight.
I see good pilots can't even land turbine jet. Due to not use to throttle lack.
If he has some real turbine flight training. I don;t think he have a problem landing it.
Just my though.

amen bro I hear ya.
If what I read about pilots having to re-certify every year is true, then I think thats going to be a major issue....if it's true.
Right now I'm in a big hassel just to get a waiver because I don't have a plane to qualify with. I sold all my ducted fans years ago when I took a brake from the hobby. So the ducted fan I have access to now is no where near 150mph and does not have flaps. The plane I have that does 150 doesn't have retracts or flaps. The plane I have with flaps probably doesn't even do 80mph.
So what to do?
