15 hours def sounds a rip off, the place I use in the US wants the following to hire.
Private Pilot Certificate
Third Class Medical
Complex Endorsement FAR 61.31 (e)
- 75 hours total time; 15 hours complex with 1 hour checkout
- or 75 hours total time with 5 hours dual in our Arrow
So the answer would be between 1-5 hours!
Sounds like the guy is after some hours to me.
Agree with you Rustle, had the point about shock cooling and power management beaten into me by my instructor when he took me out in the 200T. You have to think about your descent a lot further out than you would in a non-TC and start winding back the throttles. Like you say, certainly sharpedns you up and gets you thinking!
