About that Caravan training. . . .

So, how much would it cost? Members of the board have already pointed out the fact that you don't get a type rating, but that insurance will most definitely require it. Is there an actual 208 on premises, or is it a sim? Also, do you get the float rating with it, or can you add that rating?

huh? Did I miss something? The only caravan training I know about @ VRB is trying not to get smacked by one of the FedEx ones in the pattern.

The Caravan has a type rating? It's over 12.500lbs?

Flight Safetey Academy is quite separate and different from the Flight Safety Inc training centers located throughout the country despite the common ownership.

A type rating is needed for anything turbo-jet. That includes old style jet engines and the newer turbofans....what we all consider to be jet engines. Turboprops DO NOT need type ratings unless >12,500# or unless that plane has been deemed by "the administrator" to require one
