Anything significantly over that and people start questioning whether or not it was actually "training". Alternatively, if they have a 200 or a 90 or if they gave you a PIC type on the 350 I believe you could log sole manipulator PIC at least on repo/part 91 legs.
But that's just my understanding of it.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, the whole dual received thing does sound shady. I'll have to do more research to find out what I can and cannot log. It sounds great for experience building but not for building hours. I'll have to clarify with company as to whether or not I'm getting the actual type rating or just company training. I'm gonna guess it's the latter since there is no training contract.
