It's not the amount of time. We get the Comm RW with ~130 hours (Maybe more or less depending on aircraft). (And it would be less if they "graduated us" after BWS before advanced aircraft, like they used to do back before FS XXI. Actually, since you're FW for life, you have that lesser amount of time in RW.)

We don't (or at least 2.5 years ago with Flight Safety vs CAE) do the ground reference maneuvers. That's why they (FSI) put that little blurb at the bottom of your records sheet when you graduate.

When I went to my FSDO, after explaining that yes... the army has airplanes too, and yes, FSI has actual airplanes, not just simulators, I asked if I could get the single engine as well. He asked if I took a checkride. I said yes, and pointed to my logbook where I had put in the remarks "Checkride" and the IP's name, that was on a C182, and he signed off on it.
