From the final MAK report
Cpt:
Total time: 2602
ATR42/72 type hrs: 2522
ATR42/72(as CPT) hrs: 288 (ATR42 - 53 hrs, ATR72 - 235 hrs )
School time - 80 hrs. such a nice and round number...
how could they have Total Flight Time only about 50hrs more than experience on ATR
Schools struggle to get planes in the air due to the lack of funds. So, most of the time, by the time students get their CPLs, they are only in 50-70 hrs logged range. Depending on a school, some students can get slightly higher numbers, but not by much.
In fact, the real number might be even less - no money in the school - they fly 30-40 hrs, the rest is just ....ehh..."added" to make at least 50-70 hr number in the logbook).
