Is it still true that people with less than 30 hours flying experience will be graded on a G115 for 7 sorties?
The cut-off for basic grading (7 sorties in G115) is 15 hours, while you must have at least 30 hours to qualify for advanced grading (3 sorties in G115 and 3 IFR sorties). According to the information that I have been provided with, those who have between 15-30 hours do intermediate grading (7 sorties in G115 and 3 aerobatic sorties). I'm not sure if they still provide intermediate grading though, as far as I know the last person to do it went early this year.
