run through some scenarios as a wannabe, and this becomes very scary.
basically (and i stand to be corrected on this) my shiny new cpl, me/cir qualifies me only to fly day vfr in a single engine piston!
to be able to fly any aircraft commercially with passengers under IFR i need
500hrs as a pilot of registered... aeroplanes, including 150hrs as PIC under IFR
it seems to be completely ridiculous that after having done all the work, sat all the exams, tests etc, that i am still not considered capable of flying 1 passenger from A to B!!
the
only escape is to go the freight route, and surely there is not enough of that to go around.
