[pdub20s]

hey everyone this is my first post here... currently i have about 450TT and 200 multi CFII MEII. And my dream is to fly the PC-12. I know you dont need a type rating. So i feel this is a good opportunity to learn how to fly it and get some PIC turbine time. anyone know where i could get checked out in one.??Any advice is greatly appreciated..thanks

Simcom does simulator training in the PC-12. Initial runs around 7 grand. Get some more time and find a company that will hire you and pay for your training in the airplane.

how much time we talking about?? and what companies fly the PC12?

I was hired to fly a PC12 with 1600 hours.

Most PC12s are operated by small companies and owner-pilots. There are some charter companies out there using them.

We have 22 of them under part 91K. Great machine! I HAVE learned so much about flying while flying this airplane.

would they accept me with only a 2 year degree?

I work for Kansas City Aviation Center. We fly Part 135 charters.

I dont know any specific Part 91 operators that fly the PC12.
