![]() ![]() This is what I found for both pilots logging PIC time without wearing a view limiting device… 14 CFR 61.51(e)(iv)(A) "When the pilot performs the duties of pilot in command while under the supervision of a qualified pilot in command provided. It’s not just the quantity of the time, it’s the quality.Ĭhallenge accepted. Great guy, great attitude but he simply could not shoot an approach (because he hadn’t in years) and ultimately washed out. Problem was he was flying cargo around the islands in mostly VMC conditions for 10years. Case in point when I was a newhire at ExpressJet my sim partner was a pretty high time cargo pilot. Now while you could get an interview and get hired with 1500hrs built tooling around in the pattern in a 172, I cannot conceive how difficult a transition that would be. Flight instructing (particular in a complex twin) not only builds time, it builds experience. There’s really nothing better to make you sharp than sitting next to some new guy who is seemingly trying to end your life on a daily basis. Flight instructing is not only a means to build time, it’s a means to build some VERY high quality time. BUT, let me say this, earlier you asked about transitioning from a Seminole to the jet and I told you it was tough. Right now the Regionals are hiring like mad and basically if you’ve got the time you’ll get an interview. Recurrent training continues regularly for the rest of your career. Learn how to operate the airplane safely. Phenomenal training programs to help pilots with all flying backgrounds That is against regulations and one will eventually get caught, or cause Technically, anyone can buy a logbook and make up flight time. Since you asked about the PPL requirements, here’s ![]() ![]() Lists all of the requirements for one to become eligible for a pilotĬertificate and rating. That book should be treated like an aviation bible. That book it explains how to log all the different types of flightĮxperience. If not you can buy one online for about $20. Included in that package, should be aīook called the FAR/AIM. You shouldĪlso be getting a starter package in the mail from ATP with all of yourīooks and flight training materials. Will teach you how to log flight time properly in your logbook. Is the training they provide to certify you on the plane you’ll be flying really all you need? I would think I would feel very unprepared to have mastered a Cessna or Seminole and then suddenly fly a turbine jet professionally for the first time.įlight time is flight time. I was advised they do not expire (it’s been about 5 years since my last lessons).Īs I start my PPL in the fall here in Des Moines and hopefully advance after that, how are your hours logged and what are the requirements? Can you literally just put 1500 hours in a book and it’s the honor system? Could one buy a personal plane and fly it at leisure and gain these hours? I want to make sure the hours I accumulate are actually going to ‘count’ and be relevant for reaching a regional airline position.Īlso an additional question: As pilots train on the single and occasional multi engine piston planes, it seems that when you first get hired on by a regional that you will be suddenly working with far more sophisticated turbine planes. I have previously taken a few lessons (6 hours worth) and logged them in a pilot log book that the instructor would initial. My question is regarding logging your hours. This forum has been so helpful to get legit and professional advice! I’d like to start by thanking the mentors. ![]()
