I respectfully disagree - call Flight Safety today and ask them if you can do a CE510 recurrent course in the Cessna Mustang if you just did your initial type rating in the aircraft. You won't be permitted to register - meaning they are clearly looking to control the 'product' which is double edge sword in my mind. Obviously it can hurt business but if everyone bought into this (as Brent suggested) it could potentially change the landscape.

How do insurance companies test for this? 2. Don't you think that's kind of silly? I have a good friend who is a pro 747 pilot. He's also a home builder. I'm sure most of his time and income comes from building homes.

Sorry I'm just the messenger here. You can certainly call your underwriter directly or via your broker and address this topic with them. Thanks

Thanks I have and he's given me the same explanation you have. So the argument that "pro pilots" spend all their time flying and have no distractions and no stress, no meetings etc. and that's why their better pilots than an owner operator isn't really true.?

Sounds like they FS business model is to shut down in aircraft training by creating hurdles down the road for the owner operator.
Pro GA pilots and Owner/operators just want to get the training and get home. They go to where they have had a good experience or have heard good things.
135 Or 121 pilots don’t get that choice. They train at a company facility. You are trained to SOP. If you can’t meet the expectations you may get get some extra training. If you are unable to complete the course you are sent home for good or into retirement.
Two different ways to do the same thing. In one you are a customer, in another you are an employee up for review.

Go to bat for us with the underwriters, don't let them insure owner pilots that aren't committed to proper training.

My evidence is that his type rating was done in the airplane. You are correct that my statement was premature, so maybe not “obvious shortcuts” but “possible shortcuts.” I could be wrong, but I’m betting he didn’t do 16 days of training and 16 hours in the sim for his initial type ride.
https://www.flightsafety.com/fs/5a180de ... on_CJ4.pdf
My point is that, a owner/pilot electing not to dedicate 16 days to train in a $9m jet is an indicator of his lack of commitment to training. I’d much rather insurance companies to keep training standards high rather than allow training shortcuts and then stop writing policies because of excess losses.

The pilot then attended and did a CJ4 recurrent in the FSI sim. The belief is that he had 40-50 hours in type by the time all that was done. Quote: I could be wrong, but I’m betting he didn’t do 16 days of training and 16 hours in the sim for his initial type ride. His training does not seem deficient to me, at least not from the quantity and type of it he received. Mike C.
