It can be a long road, from basic trainer, via complex four-seaters, an IFR rating, commercial licence and even a small twin. To fly charter, head for the airlines, or work as a corporate pilot, aviators will likely need to get signed off in a large twin engine aircraft. For example, a King Air, Cessna 402, Islander or similar.
As part of my role testing, selling and ferrying aircraft for Tecnam and other manufacturers, I was offered a “rating” in the Tecnam P2012 Traveller: an eleven seat, twin engine, high wing, fixed gear, FADEC, and Garmin G1000 NXi equipped, modern offering.
The Traveller doesn’t require a specific rating if you already have a twin endorsement, but for insurance purposes, and so an owner will let you fly it as pilot…
