That said, it would definitely be cheaper to certify a pilot on this than on a business jet, since the flight hours for the aircraft cost much less.

- walrus01 6y agoIf I had to guess, the certification and training process on this would best be compared to advanced single engine expensive aircraft like a Pilatus PC-12. Or a Cessna Caravan. Anything else out there in the single engine turboprop PT6 (or competing engine) category.
- alfalfasprout 6y agoEhhh usually type ratings aren't the most expensive part of training though. Plus on larger business jets there are simulators that are used in lieu of in-aircraft time for most of the training. You're still looking at bare minimum a CPL with instrument rating which is minimum 250 hours (realistically 350 or so). Probably more than that before any insurance company is OK with you flying it single pilot.
