Hi
Does anyone know why AMA won't allow a new turbine modeler to fly X amount of flights with his turbine model on a buddy box with a TCD or instructor pilot and then get signed off? It would seem an ideal situation, the new pilot doesn't have to buy a special plane for the waiver and gets "real world experience" flying a turbine powered airplane. AMA benefits in ensuring that the turbine pilot has some experience and thereby (hopefully) is a safer pilot.
