I think that FUJIABOUND makes some valid points

Pace how many hours have you got on Avedyne EFIS ?

As an high time jet pilot with ATPL invulnerability can creep in

This like all aircraft is OK vfr but familiarity IFR is a different matter

Cirrus recommend a minimum of 10 hours for VFR transition and 15 for IFR transition. Time on type is critical for competent and safe IFR flight.

The group that you refer to permits and encourages any qualified pilot to join and 10 hours is where the insurance draw the line which compared to many privately owned aircraft is pretty good. The line could be drawn at 500 hrs but why exclude newly qualified and competent pilots who are happy to learn the syatems properly.

When you did groundschool on your Citation did you moan and fuss about the need to do it ?
