well
previous to oct 20 there was the supervised op exp restriction if one didnt have time on type (500 hours) etc but NOW much more elaborate on getting it removed. before it was just (B) 25 hours in the plane and log it. now they specifically state in the pic seat, the pic signs log and examiner attests....
and from what i read you must do part of the practical test in the real plane.
thank god i got my type last year ! a word of advice for those who dont want a supervised op experience type and dont have the 500 hours on type or 1000 turbojet is get a ce-500 type first for about 8 to 10 k. since you do the test in the plane you get an unrestricted type and then can go on and do the big boy all in the sim and no pic experience restriction....
