Even if legally that was possible i would most definatly discourage it and would ask myself a few questions first. That sort of machine is HIGHLY automated, even before you go wandering off into the big wide world it was designed to operate in. If you throw into the mix all the poetential issues you could face it's scary. If it is a HUD and EVS equipped aircraft could you say hand on heart you would have not have a second thought about operating it down to 100 Feet? I have second thoughts about doing it and thats with 5,000 + hours jet experience.

It's a serious bit of kit and i can tell you from experience that the rating itself is not a pay 60k and you get your paperwork sort of deal, far from it infact. Just my thoughts for what it's worth and i can certainly put you in touch with some very experienced FAA rated guys (not me i'm a brit!!)
