    What's the license/experience route to private jet/turboprop flying?

    I have flown some pretty fast planes and we could get the ATIS quite a ways out but that was years ago maybe it’s different now

    It sounds like you have answered your own question and you are on your way to becoming what you asked about, not sure how you got a job flying a PC12 unless it’s the right seat or you own it , insurance would be a issue but good luck to you on your journey , and yes I am jealous I wish I had...

    Push to talk switch

    Let’s start with the aircraft system if you plug your headset into the panel jacks and the push to talk on the yoke works the aircraft system is ok , if you plug a portable system into the panel jacks and things don’t work , pretty easy to figure that one out. Good luck

    Push to talk switch

    If it goes to ground when you push it , it works , your question doesn’t give us all the information required to give a complete answer , is the push to talk strapped to the yoke or is it in the yoke ?

    What's the license/experience route to private jet/turboprop flying?

    Your question boils down to one thing to me. MONEY, I have flown the planes you are talking about but they belonged to other people, your question sounds like you want to own and fly one as we all would like to do , owning a turbine or jet aircraft is very expensive, even the newer high...

    Filing and flying IFR without Instrument Rating

    Turning him into the FAA would not be where I would start with this I would talk to him saying there are pilots on the field that are aware he is not rated and they have mentioned turning him in to the FAA so he might think about not flying in IMC until he passes his check ride , the same...

    Fresno to Hemet

    I am in KHMT now when I head your way I go HMT direct Porterville that takes you through the Cajon pass you won’t be close to the banning pass so if you go direct Porterville direct KHMT that’s the shortest route , have a good flight. Windy today

    Multi-engine VMC Handling

    Yes most of those kind of accidents are avoidable , I have thousands of multi engine hours in many different twins, getting the failed engine feathered is the first priority and depending on weight most of them will do fine but from lift off to blue line and above you Better be ready , the turbo...
