MU-2 Pilots embrace new training regs

Since the FAA issued the special regulation governing MU-2 pilot proficiency in February, nearly 300 pilots have completed the additional training required to fly the turboprop.

The special FAR doesn’t take effect until Feb. 5, 2009, but many MU-2 pilots have already completed training to prepare for the rule’s implementation. Another 250 pilots remain to be trained, according to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America (MHIA). After the effective date next year, no pilot can fly an MU-2 unless he meets the SFAR initial, recurrent or requalification training requirements.
