Right. None of which are relevant to turbine aircraft anyways, which is the majority of all planes in the sky.
It's relevant sure but the big things you learn in flight training are how to figure out where in the sky you are and should be, lift/drag stick and rudder stuff, and endless amounts of regulations.
The means of propulsion is important sure but it's a small minority of the info you absorb.

- sokoloff 10y agoAll the bizjets, King Airs, PC12s, TBMs, and Caravans are turbine (and most are GA). Plenty of turbines in GA and they fly a lot of hours. (It's not the majority of airplanes, but it probably is the majority of hours flown.)
