Default Turbine PIC Opportunity

AirNow,

AirNow just crashed a plane today, but it seems like a great opportunity of a low time pilot to quickly build turbuine PIC time.

Check It out !!

AirNow supports an EMB 110 Early Upgrade program. This program is designed to enable the selection and promotion of a pilot to multiengine turboprop Captain before he/she has acquired 2,000 hours total flight time and/or 500 hours multiengine flight time.

1. Have 600 hrs or 9 months of flight experience in AirNow turbine powered aircraft
2. Have no record of violation of Government Safety Regulations
3. Hold an Airplane, Multi-engine Land class rating
4. Except for the minimum age requirements of FAR Part 61, meet all regulatory requirements to qualify for a U.S. Airline Transport Pilot Certificate
5. Agree to remain employed as an AirNow flight crew member for 18 months after completing Early Upgrade Program. Applicant to sign $9,000 Flight Training Promissory note for 18 month term.

Selection for this program will be performance based and made through a competitive process.

What the heck is an EMB 110? Is that a smaller 120?

just a few random thoughts about the Bandit EMB-110 is a 15 to 19 pax twin. It is unpressurized, we had no autopilot (something about a crash caused by an autopilot), Pt-6 turbines, 13,500 pound MGTOW, 200 TAS, large rear cargo door and smaller front left pax door. I flew it for WestAir and liked the way it flew. It is easy to fly. It is a truly fingertip airplane with a big trim wheel. You fly it by moving the trim wheel in cruise for altitude hold. It is a full time David Clark headset airplane like most Turbo props I guess. I remember it being hot inside but I was flying it out of Fresno in the summer so I guess most everything is hot. It is a good instrument platform and I would think a great airplane to "cut your teeth."
