Transitioning From Light Singles to CJ1
Hi all,
I am 19 years old, 500 hours with commercial multi instrument. I currently fly skydivers in a 182. Our close family friend just purchased a CJ1 and has an experienced pilot with an MEI flying it single pilot. The owner said I can fly with him all I want and wants me to eventually fly it single pilot and take over for the current pilot who is getting old. Realistically, how long will this take and what is the process like? Should I go to get the type rating now and will I be able to log PIC once I do so? If we are flying say 100-200 hours a year, how long will it take to meet the insurance requirements?
