typical total time and PIC time question

"AJW" wrote in message


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?

My logbook (about 320 hours) is much more similar to yours than the crash
pilot's. It sounds like he was either a really slow learner with more money
and patience than skill or he just really liked having an instructor on
board.

Other factors could be:

1, The length of time it took the pilot to acquire his airman
certificate.

2. The length of time it took the pilot to acquire his 320 total
hours, and thus his currency level at any given time.

3. The pilots degree of self confidence and lack thereof.
