In case you didn't know. The AMA requires you to have a turbine waiver to be covered under the membership insurance plan..to get your waiver you must be able to prove that you can control a turbine powered airplane..and then be signed off by another turbine pilot. now if you're an outlaw flyer (slang for someone that doesn't belong to the AMA, and doesn't have the AMA insurance) and something happens...it's all on you. alot of times when a turbine crashes, there is a fire. crash into a house and you're on your own.
Can you teach yourself to fly a turbine..I doubt it..you'll walk away from the hobby frustrated first
