ok Lemon, wich airline are you flying for couse I don`t think I`m gonna fly them in the future You had 170 hrs and oyu got a 73 job. I use to have instrument students who had more time than that.But I guess things in the US are different.
A lot of FI are a little sceptical about these people sitting in the right seats.Usual people with 300 hrs just bearly master all the instrument skills. There is a reason why people dont just hop from a 172 to 73. Well, until all goes well...Don`t even wanna think about a serious emergency.But that is just my opinion.I`m sure your CAA considers you highly trained pro.
