Turbine Time Definition
I was just wondering what the exact definition of turbine time was because I was looking around and I found some place that said Turboprop time could be considered as turbine time or something like that. I just wanted some clarification.

I thought if it was not a glider or had pistons and went whiz whiz whiz when you started it, then turbine.
If someone else proves me wrong it is just that simple |
Pretty sure just cause it has props on the front of the turbine engine its still turbine time, just not "jet time" I guess is what some may say.
|
turboprop/turbojet/turbofan = turbine time.

This may be obvious to most but some may miss it so I'll clarify one thing, Many piston engines have Turbochargers, this is NOT a TurboProp. A TurboProp is a prop that is rotated by a TURBINE engine.

Meaning a Seneca II is not TURBINE TIME.:( A Caravan is TURBINE TIME.;) |
Now, if you flew Right seat on a Caravan...how would that be logged? Total Time, SIC Time and Turbine Time???
|
meaning no pistons boys, that turbo seneca isn't going to cut it.
|
No, the turbo Seneca won't work but if you've got time in a C-208, that works.
Now, let me ask this question. How good is single-engine turboprop time in your logbook? Only reason why I am asking is because I am one of those Caravan drivers and it seems like although I have the experience in the weather and such, it doesn't help with multi PIC. Any thoughts would be appreciated. |
