IMHO a TT number doesn't really demonstrate anything anyway. You could be a
Student Pilot with 300 hours TT and never actually be qualified to fly a
plane.

PIC time is a much more relevant number. And my guess is that 250 PIC is
equivalent to somewhere between 300 and 350 TT for the typical pilot. (They
say the average pilot spends 65 hours in primary training.)

Just a heads up to the northeast pilots interested in Angel Flight.
Just got a call informing me that the new requirements as of January
1, 2006 is 250 hours PIC. It's no longer just the 300 hours total
time. I'm about 15 hours short of that so I'll be put in the system
pending the hours and orientation attendance. Apparently it takes a
little while to set the orientation up so I'll hopefully have the PIC
hours by the time orientation logistics come together.

Makes me wonder what prompted the change. National consistency?
