FlareHighLandLong. On what do you base your statement re the KingAir350 that "you would not send someone to fly one without 3000 hours"? Surely you jest.
Perhaps I was unclear. My point is not that the military wouldn't - I was comparing to civil expectations. If you can find me a civil employer who will employ a 200 hour pilot in a King Air I would be very surprised. The RAAF routinely progresses its pilots much faster than their civil peers, and the KA350 is no different. The King Air is typically flown single pilot, therefore the people being trained to fly them often arrive with 1000s of hours including plenty of multi. I think you would be the jester if you think they'd put a new CPL on one!
