At times, it can be negotiable if your other times are pretty high, but for the most part, 500 is needed. If you have a lot of ME or Turbine, we could take you at maybe 450-475 PIC instead.
Typically, though, it means, you'll come in with 525+TT if you have the 500 PIC (since not all your time through training is PIC).
Hope that helps!
FreightDogs,
I just have one quick question relating to this. So, when I finished my training, I never moved on to instructing. I was fortunate enough to be hired as a First Officer in a Part 135 operation on a Beech 1900. Due to this fact, I have very little PIC time (less than 200 hours). However, when I will be eligible for 135 IFR PIC, I will have roughly 1,000 hours of turbine and over 1,000 hours of multi engine time. Currently, I have over 150 hours of actual and simulated instrument time and over 100 hours of night time which will increase at an exponential rate as I continue to build my hours. Even with this experience, will this still make me ineligible for any pilot position at Ameriflight?
Thanks,
