Recently getting checked out in the Kodiak 100, I was surprised that once you learn the new terminology and buttons and levers and such, flying it feels a lot easier than flying my piston aircraft (Cessna 182). So if you're looking to get into flying turboprops one day but it seems intimidating, I wanted to make this video to shed some light on things that might actually be easier than you think.
I know each turboprop will be different and there are many out there that might be far more complicated than this, but take it as one data point. It's a blast to fly and easier than I thought it would be. I hope this helps you in your aviation journey!
