Hey everybody. First post, but I've been a lurker for a while. I searched the forum & read all 304 pages in this thread, but this is the only post I found on my question...

That quote is in regards to this qualification requirement: "1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof (GTOW 12,500)"
Can someone please verify that the current intent of that requirement is 1500 hours in a multiengine turboprop or 1500 hours in any jet? Or... should it be read as 1500 hours in a multiengine turboprop or a multiengine jet?
I'm an Air Force test pilot kind of guy retiring next September 1st with mostly single seat fighter time. I have about 1100 hours of multiengine turbine time now (including UPT time) with about 2100 total military hours. All but a few hours of my military time is either jet or multiengine turboprop time. I have about 1500 hours of civilian time too (mostly VariEze & RV-6), but that's mostly single engine piston stuff.
Thanks!
