I'll bet averages today, for the first few hundred hours, are in between
somewhere. There IS more to learn and the standards have changed, even though

some of the things you probably had to demonstrate for your PPL are no longer

included in the PTS. Certainly very few pilots today have an IR rating with
only 80 hours dual.

SInce I took my training longer ago than most of you are alive, I'm confused
about current practices.

I came across a NTSB report that described a pilot with about 320 hours TT,
of
which about 75 were as PIC. The pilot was about half way though his flight
training for his IRF rating, had a PPL and Class II physical. He was signed
off
on complex SEL aircraft.

My own logbook when I had 320 hours tt showed about 80 hours dual, 260 PIC,
but
that was back in the late 60s, and by then I had an IFR rating. What about
you?
When you had about 300 hours, if you were SEL at the time, how much was
dual,
how much PIC? What's typical today?
