Solid Rust Twotter, I normally agree with your posts, but not this one. The world has changed. In the old days pistons were a necesarry step, why now? If I was employing someone, I dont think I would give a rats about a 210, or 206. It has a little more power than what you trained on - So what? I would imagine VFR operation, never having to look in the books for WAT limits, weight and balance, etc etc. I still believe that the Van job is the way to go, and as for a 1000 Hrs in the right seat, it will never happen. You will look at 500 hrs at most - Most operators swap seats - So it makes no difference. And as I said before, you have the benefit of I guy in the seat next to you that has seen weather etc, and has some knowledge to pass on to you.
