Is there any evidence that pilots with 500 hours (seems to the “in” figure) turbine experience have less incidents/accidents than a pilot with a couple of hundred hours turbine or even a high time piston engine pilot with little or no turbine experience.
I am fully aware that the more experience you have, all things being equal, you are less likely to balls up because you may have had a few close calls in your earlier days.
Who came up with this magical 500 hours figure in the first place?
