I totally agree with Harmattan96. What better way to start instructing than when you have just obtained the certificate? If you have 200 hours, then so be it. Otherwise, how is one to build flight time if they do not instruct. It can be argued that they could fly as P2 in some turbine and get experience first. But who in their right mind would leave a better paying job flying good equipment to go instruct because they now have 500hours. And besides, sitting idle pulling gear as P2 does not give you the experience to be an effective instructor if at all. How many times are you practicing slow flight, unusual attitudes, stalls with passengers in the back. The 200hour pilot will pass on the basic knowledge required to build a strong foundation. And in the long run will acquire more skill to take on that P2 job. That's my two cents worth.
