Lets KEEP quoting FAR's please. If it represents 25% of people flying in this world (which if you were to include all the countries that base their licence's on FAA regs it would not, very much more indeed) then that is a huge representation. I dont care what anyones rules are, when the question is asked, how many hours of instrument flight do you have, we all know what the question really is. If a guy has 10,000 hours with 7,000 hour of instument time he would be laughed at and rightly so. Then when it is asked of him, what is the real number, he will not know will he as it will be hidden in amongst all those hours of sitting there eating, drinking and doing the crossword puzzles.
