Actually one year two months, 23 days. However that can be reduced if the pilot has acheived more than 700 hours in type, and 712 total. Unfortunately, Part 91 flights don't count toward this number, but deadheads do. (at a .75 rate, of course). If one has flown with a "2%er" more than once, in a 6 month period, they may reduce the number by 50 hours, but any top 10%er adds 5 hours per trip. If you tell the Pax in the back you are cleared for take-off instead of the tower, add 10 hours. If you tell the tower and 20 or more other planes waiting in line the pre-takeoff announcement, subtract 100 hours for providing entertainment and laughter for untold amounts of pilots and ATC! Add 200 hours if you put your call sign in it.
