Question to any dealers out there. Would you sell a brand new Pressurized Turbo-Prop to a buyer with only 50 hours total and no IFR ticket? Would you sell an aircraft of this type knowing that it could not be insured ? Is it okay to sell one to someone who would then fly it VFR at 17,500 or below? I am curious to see if there are those in the business of selling aircraft of this type to a customer with little or no experience in the flight levels or in the system. Pilatus, TBM, Cessna and Piper dealers feel free to respond.

If they have money and want to buy it, and no fraud or illegality is occurring, then why is it any of that the sellers business at all? wire the money, here's your machine.

As others said, they don’t have to be a qualified pilot to get value out of their airplane.

You serious? What role is the seller supposed to be taking on? FAA? instructor? mentor? pastor? mother? Start running your business like that, you better have a bankruptcy lawyer on speed dial. Jg

If for no other reason than my conscience and hoping he doesn't plummet into some poor bugger on the ground.

Not your concern, let the FAA and the insurance company worry about it.
