Time building
Question from a complete newbie. I am 15 hours into this life and I am questioning how to build "quality time". Is time equivalent to time? or is a 150/152 time qualitatively different than 172/cherokee 180 time. I understand the minimums in type, etc. From the insurance companies/employers perspective is time equivalent across the board?
I understand the major distinctions, but, all thing equal, is time = to time? If I want to get to a big number, what should I fly? |
Get your CFI/CFII and instruct.

In a few words; "Time is time" Getting 1000 hours in a Cessna 150 is just as good as anything else if that is all you can afford.
Keep in mind that someone who has a lot of multi engine time, has flown internationally, and is comfortable flying through weather and using instrument procedures is a lot stronger of a job candidate than someone with the same total time but all in a 180hp single flying locally. |

I have to disagree. I've checked out multiple people in several airplanes for a part 91 operation I worked for, and it was always immediately obvious who's time was 99% in a c172, pa28 flying in circles. op: time is time when it comes to getting your certificates, however after you have all your ratings, you really want to get time that is "useful". By this I mean different types of flying, weather, airspace, etc.
