200 hours in 1250 flights is quite suggestive, don't you think?

This _might_ mean that he is instructing a lot.

And on a winch, to boot.

It seems inconceivable that any pilot could have such a low average time
otherwise. I just looked at mine out of curiosity (gotta log electronic
logbooks...):

I'm not an instructor. So what you can see is that my average flight
while under instruction (including subsequent two seater ratings, site
checks, and BFRs) is 21 minutes. Average flight time when taking
friends for rides is nearly double that, and average single-seater
flight times are nearly double again (I'm a bit embarassed by how low
that 79 minute number is, actually).
