Appreciate all your input guys (or gals for that matter)!

I thought that might of been the case. I guess going through training I never really heard of insurance companies and GA operators saying that they want/need 500 hours minimum, until recently.


Totally agree with you iPahlot (and Capt Claret) its all about persistence and the correct attitude, even though i haven't found my first gig as of yet. You could be a top pilot but your attitude could be extremely poor. You don't know whats out there until you go looking! Will do an oil change and top up the radiator, and maybe a new air filter in the car before i go looking though .

To answer Adsie, its a bit mixed, the PIC is all SE on numerous types including tailwheels. Have the tailwheel, retractable undercarriage and manual pitch. Also have a CMEIR. Wanting to gain a couple of hours on a 206 as well but we will have to see if the funds can be saved....packing shelves only pays so much .
