Anyone go from jet to turboprop?

Not the ATR, but yes. Jet to Prop is ok, so long as there is a good reason. Even if there is not a good reason who cares, you are free to do what you want. Besides jets are for hot tubs...

The ATR is a lot of fun to fly. I fly the -212 at ASA if you want to PM me.

I know a lot of guys here that went from Jet to ATR. Most of the guys don't care, but I've heard a few complain. But it's mostly because they're old and break often.

It's really not a big deal, and the ATR is a real pilot's plane. You can really feel the plane through the controls, so it's fun to fly.

I used to fly the ATR. Fun plane, very simple. Very advanced for a turboprop. Easy to fly. This job wouldn't happen to be in Great Britain or India would it?

I am on the Jet now, but I MISS MY ATR DAYS. Best four years of my flying career were on that plane. It is definetley a pilot's plane, and I do agree it is rather advance for a T-Prop. Transition from Jet to ATR should be fine......V1 cuts might be little different. Goodluck!!!

Most pilots I talked to at ASA say the 70 is the most fun plane to fly. Then ATR then 50.
