I had to log in for this one. First of all, ARG/US -Wyvern Wingman programs are a leech on the aviation community. All those companies do, is give the customer and insurance companies a warm and fuzzy feeling about the flight crews. And then they get their hands in the middle of the money somehow. Here’s a good example of why they are crap… When someone books a flight with a ARG/US or Wyvern certified charter company, there’s no telling if that company doesn’t broker out the job to a non- certified operator. So much for the cert. Also Who cares anyway. A company may have their best “platinum” rating, but then they tank a jet in a field. OK. Thanks for that.
I think 1000 hours is an awful lot for a King Air. I started flying one with under 250 and a while ago I was told 2000 min to touch a jet under a Wyvern program. So the short answer is .. It depends on the Operator.
