Is that official trim stab? I've never heard of a requirement for survey time from BAS. Certainly single pilot time is viewed favourably. But survey time I doubt. What use is sitting over a power line/flying straight tracks with a magnetometer for hours on end in a 404 going to be in the Antarctic?

However I do agree with the rest of above. With min hours you won't have a look in. Nor should you. If that's the ultimate goal try and get a job in a twotter here. If that fails get a good GA grounding then as soon as possible get your single pilot experience up. That was certainly the favoured route 3 or 4 years back.

Edited to add. If you have a trade such as electrician/mechanic that is viewed very favourably
