Minimum JAR hours for single pilot IFR.

[Global Pilot]

Speaking to a mate of mine this evening about single pilot IFR and the following came up.

He is current with his multi and his IR and looking at flying a PA31 but has been informed that he cannot operate single pilot IFR with pax untill he has a minimum of 700 total time.

Can anyone shed some light on this JAR reg and also a ref to were I can find it written down somewhere.

rgds,
GP.

JAR specifies 700 hrs for IFR public transport. Can't remember where the blurb is written.

The regulation can be found in JAR-OPS 1.960 and states the requirement of 700 hours total of which 400 must be in command.

Thanks for that fellas! Had a look and makes sense now.

What about Single Pilot IFR flying cargo?? Does that still come under public transport???

Is it the same 700 hours with 400 PIC ?

Thanks

Public Transport rules are the same whether Pax or Cargo I believe. Aerial work can be undertaken without the hours requirement.
