A Turbine Transition Course is designed to train pilots to fly helicopters with turbine engines, which are commonly used in larger, more complex aircraft. It covers differences in performance, systems, and handling characteristics from smaller piston-engine helicopters, and includes ground school and flight training.
Since all your training for your certificates is done in a piston style aircraft, a turbine transition course was built to provide the training for those who wish to work in the industry. Turbine helicopters are the typical choice for helicopter operators and need special attention and training.
