RE: Jet Pilot skill level?

but the Jetcat with Kero start is MUCH more complicated and requires special attention that if you did not have the proper knowledge could ruin the engine, damage or distroy the aircraft (which cost several thousand dollars btw - over 7k on my boomer alone), cause a fire and create property damage or physical injury. Moreover, there is a REASON AMA requires a waiver to fly jets. What do you suppose that reason is? I could post the requirements for you if you would like, but they are readily available on their sight for all who are interested.

I'm sorry but a jetcat with kero start needs no special attention and with the ecu controlling everything you cannot ruin it??? I know as I have limited turbine knowledge meaning I own and fly them but the engines just work straight out of the box with just the instructions. I was able to have one running with ease. No running in, no tuning, no issues. If you have a problem with it you send it back for a service.
Older lpg start turbines probably need about half an hour of instruction from a helpful jet flyer and you'd be away to. Isn't this why everyone goes on about getting a known brand jet and not a jetjoe? Because their easy to start and more reliable?
All planes can cause property damage or physical injury I don't understand what you are trying to say here.
I don't know, maybe I suppose the reason AMA has a waiver is because turbines 10 years ago were new territory, and maybe because there not a piston engine, or it gives the AMA something to do, maybe because it makes jet pilots feel more special?
Are you trying to convince people not to fly turbines because they are so complicated for you?
I don't understand why people try to make is sound harder than it is, the more jet flyer's the better.
If you can land in front of yourself and know how to flare and land smoothly you can fly a jet. i know this because I can now fly jets and all the negatives I was told before hand did not come true.
If I can tell you one thing that will get you flying jets easily it is, surround yourself with POSITIVE like minded individuals and get a jet guru who walks the walk instead of just talks. Jets are easy.
