To Transition or Not?Is the cost of a turbine transition worth the money spent and the experienced gained? Yes it is, and there is very little debate in this regard. While training, you will need to build all the experience you can. The only flight school who would dispute the need for a turbine transition is one who does not offer it. The fact that a school does not offer such a transition is however no bad mark against that school. What is the gain in a turbine transition? The bottom line; experience. Just what all operators are looking for. Even if you will be employed by a company who is willing to accomplish the transition themselves, you will go there with some knowledge of how the systems work, what the instruments mean, and how to start the engine, even though your level of experience in the turbine will be minimal. Why do some people argue that a turbine transition is a waste of time and money? There is no good reason why someone should argue a turbine transition. If the opportunity exists, and you can afford the cost, it is a good idea. The only reason that someone would argue this is perhaps the same reason that someone would argue that a Robinson is not really good helicopter time. Such a person has no legitimate argument, they just don't like the idea, or in the case of the Robinson, they just don't like the aircraft.
