I remember feeling invisible at 500TT with about 150 of dual given. Once I hit 1000 and got into my first jet I remember looking back and thinking man i didnt know anything at 500. Same thing at 1500TT. Now at 2300 with an upgrade around the corner Im still thinking the same "Boy glad i didnt have to make this or that descision when i only had 500TT or 1200TT it could have very well been the wrong one." Im sure ill think the same when get 4 or 5000TT, honestly I hope i never stop feeling that way. When these Tcat jets are certified it is under the consensus that an average pilot with average skills can perform the reqired manuever. (ie v1 cut) Thus the whole point of having to get a type rating. There is no doubt in my mind that after a certain amount of time in type a guy with 500TT could fly a jet to the same standards of a guy with 5000TT. Flying is the easy part, what cannot be taught in a classroom or sim is descision making skills. I think you can only gain that experience through experience IE flight time. This is only my opinion im sure ill get a little flame for it oh well.
