## Resource

What does it really take to move from a piston single to a multi-engine turbine? In this episode of the Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe sits down with Dave Lally to unpack his journey from flying a Bonanza and M350 to captaining a King Air 350 — all in just a few months. With fewer than 1,000 hours, Dave made the leap during the uncertainty of 2020, earning his multi-engine rating, type rating, and building mentor time in record pace. They talk about what the transition was really like, what surprised him most about turbine ownership, and why the King Air 350 turned out to be the perfect mission airplane — from nonstop Bahamas trips to hauling supplies into remote destinations. If you’ve ever wondered whether stepping up to turbine is worth it… this episode is for you. Subscribe for more real-world conversations from the owner-flown community.
