...totally forgot about this thread, unitl i got stuck RON for a few nights
...that was my only point, i knew there was some way to get an unrestricted with nothing more than a turboprop rating...anyone i know with the 300 has a crapload of hours in em
What I said is correct - I don't have the exact wording of the regulation in front of me but I'll look it up when I have time. It's not a FSI standard - it's an FAR. A turboprop type rating does NOT count to get an unrestricted type - the regulation states that it must be a turboJET type rating. Your friends that went from the BE300 type (btw, I have one too so I know it's no joke!!) to an unrestricted type rating would have had to have the flight time to get it - in other words, you can get an unrestricted type if you have a previous jet type rating OR xxx number of turbine flight hours (these hours CAN be in a turboprop) OR (there are provisions for using military time but I don't know what they are).
