Pretty well covers your question Flying Bean. Most operators outside the training arena will also require somewhere in the vicinity of 5-10 hrs ICUS as well before they let someone blast-off by themselves. I think you will find that it would be considered "safe practice" to do such, and to conduct relatively frequent "proficiency checks" for the first little while (especially for relatively low time pilots) - and monitoring the progress of the pilot from there.
.......to conduct an engineering exam (based on a CASA exam I believe) that covers normal, emergency operation, systems, loading and performance. They also get a pretty comprehensive checkout before they can touch it by themselves......
