Changes to the Turbine Waiver test...
Guys,
The AMA just posted a new change to the turbine waiver test. It is up on the website now.
I am glad they clarified what needs to be done and what needs to be used for the test. It pretty much eliminates any doubt or post waiver questions now on who/what/when/where ETC.
Kudos to the AMA...

>>The qualification flight shall be completed by the following method:
1) Fixed wing: The qualification flight will be performed with a turbine powered model weighing at
least 12 pounds (dry). The applicant must first have flown the turbine powered model on a buddy box
with an experienced turbine pilot in control of the master transmitter. The experienced turbine pilot
will assist the applicant with as many flights as necessary until satisfied that the applicant is prepared
for the qualification flight after which the experienced turbine pilot will declare the applicant qualified
to perform the qualification flight flying solo without buddy box assistance. As part of the
application process, the applicant will demonstrate general knowledge of turbine
operation/maintenance, such as ECU configuration, fail-safe set-up, firefighting equipment,
turbine lag management, etc.
