And I'm sure there are people out there who have the same amount of time as me and have had a an even broader experience.
OK -we must have widely different ideas of proficient Tpinks.
If you have 356 total hours with AT LEAST 100 of those being in the C-206, then that leaves 256 to divide by the remaining 13 types of aircraft that you claim proficiency in - - - making that an average 19.6 hrs in each type,
which we know is no accurante due to the number of training hours that you must have in some of the more common type of trainers.
I had 20+ years of flying high performance trainers/fighters and I wouldn't say I was **proficient** in my current King Air until I had at least 500 hrs in it.
