I'd have to double check the reg since it doesn't apply to us part 91
guys.

The one point I haven't seen mentioned here is the issue of insurance.
For example, if I paid for a single-pilot Citation jet type rating I
can legally fly it as PIC, but with only 1900 hours TT the insurance
company wouldn't authorize me to fly solo without a bunch of dual time
with an apropriately rated Citation captain. It's almost as if the
insurance companies have as much say in what you can & can't fly as the
FAA does. (at least for turbine aircraft)
