Flight Hours

• 1500 hours total fixed-wing
• 1000 hours PIC in jet aircraft is preferred; multi-engine turbo-prop aircraft, 12,500 pounds or greater; certain single engine turbo-prop aircraft, or combination thereof. A minimum of 500 hours PIC as described is required.

When evaluating flight hours, we consider several factors, including:

• Complexity of aircraft flown
• Nature and type of flight operations
• Recency, quality, quantity, and verifiability of flight time and associated logs
• Hours flown as PIC
• Hours flown as instructor/evaluator

*Previous minimums were a strict 1,000 TPIC and they now allow a few new A/C to count towards that PIC category.*

”Two particular items of note. T-6 Texan II, Pilatus PC-12 and Osprey V-22 are now considered weight equivalent aircraft to meet the 1000-hour requirement of 12.5K LBS or heavier time. In other words, pilots of these aircraft, exclusive of other experience, may count this time towards FedEx requirements. C130, Q400, P3, and a few other large turboprop aircraft are now accepted as equivalent to turbojet time.”
