Episode 414: "Is There a Specific Type Rating to Move From the Piston to Turbine Helicopter?"

All right, next question from yesterday. A gentleman asked is there a specific type rating to move from the piston to a turbine helicopter? And there is no type rating. There is no additional rating to fly a jet powered helicopter. The only thing in helicopters you have to worry about is once you get up to 12,500 as the weight of the aircraft and above, then you need a type rating for that. But you could ultimately legally get out of the R22, go jump in a jet ranger and go fly it and you would be legal. There is no rating for turbine and the same thing for twin engine helicopters. There is no rating for twin engine. The only relevance is 12,500 and above.
