By the time you transition to turbines, you should be able to air-taxi a Robinson onto a platform in 20 knots o' wind, no problemo. You should be competent enough to know when it's a no-go as well. Seeing as the Robinson trainer is one of the smallest, least stable heli's out there, if you can master flying it, you can probably fly any "swing-wing".
Not exactly. It all depends on how much money you have. You dont have to start out flying 152s then, 172s, then multis, etc, build time and then move to a jet. If you hve enough money, you can simply start with a jet. Same with choppers. With enough money, you can "start" in a turbine.
