1. I feel confident that nobody could seriously believe to find a SPIFR Job on a twin like a Bell 430 with 350h.
2. Nobody will believe that a owner of a multi-million bucks ship is ready to fly with a newbie
3. Insurance will start to laugh if they read the CV
If the guy will work as hard as up to time he will make his way and my be in a few years he is ready for a job like this.
To get the first 1000-1500h isn't easy.

There are some "little" differences between a light turbine ship and the jobs such helos have to do and one of the latest twins on SPIFR Ops off shore.
If the ship is at full sail, the 430 must be operated sometimes in foreign airspace and conditions. Expect the usual problems a newbie have never heard and can not imagine. Good luck!
@ John Eacott
You agree with me that is it perhaps possible to check out a 350h pilot on a BK 117 used on operations the new guy
knowns in known area.
And you personally know the guy and his manner to do the job! But i couldn't believe you will check out an unknown 350h pilot on one of your BKs only by his CV.
