One the other thread, you were a little more specific as in ' how did this guy learn to fly a turboprop'. My earlier discussion with counsel aside, here is how:

Once airborne, no matter how the airplane derives its thrust, aerodynamics are in play. That is all viable airplanes want to fly. That makes them economical, safe and reliable.

Turboprops are easier to start and maintain engine conditions (NG, engine temp etc) than reciprocation engines radial or inline since most have a power management system that keeps parameters in order as long as flight control and conditions aren't out of limits. Batt- ON, APU - start, Fuel Boost Pumps - ON, Ignitors - ON. Move the engine control levers and you got it. Most gauges in modern 'jet engined' planes are marked. Not a big deal if you don't care if you are coming back but semi-important if you want to depart and see the Olympic Mts.

This guy played some kind of flight simulator. As the 9/11 douchebags showed, learning to fly is easy if you aren't planning a landing. Watch the vid upthread where he barrel rolls. No one gets killed on sim, but he was after the pooch on that one. In sum, his 'last' flight would have been over sooner with more pollution.

’ how did this guy learn to fly a turboprop’.
The guy was likely a deep state MK ULTRA zombie.
Deep State was showing off what they can do with their MK ULTRA zombies.
