TURBINE PILOT
MENTOR MATTERS
Life after the simulator
Get the most out of supervised operating experience
MIKE FIZER
BY NEIL SINGER
YOU DID IT! Weeks of ground school, late
nights cramming limitations and memory items, hours in the simulator-all
have culminated in your first type rating.
While the hardest work is largely in the
rear-view mirror, the learning certainly
is not as the next phase of the transition
into a light jet begins: supervised operating experience (SOE).
SOE is legally required by the FAA only
if a narrow, yet common, set of circumstances apply: It's the pilot's first type
rating; the checkride was taken in a sim;
and the pilot is relatively (or completely)
inexperienced in turbine aircraft, e.g. no
notable experience acting as a second
in command (SIC) in a jet or as pilot in
command (PIC) of a turboprop. If SOE
is required, newly typed pilots may not
act as PIC until they obtain 25 hours of
flight time in type, under the supervision
of a qualified PIC. Once the 25 hours are
completed, the pilot can present the log of
these flights (signed by the observing PIC)
to an examiner or FAA inspector, who will
issue a new, unrestricted certificate allowing the pilot to serve as PIC.
So much for the legal requirements.
What's likely to be far more restrictive
are the SOE demands imposed by insurance. Depending on the size and value of
the jet in question-as well as the experience of the pilot in terms of total flight
time, turbine time, and previous jet experience-insurance may demand an SOE
requirement of 50 to 100 hours, or even
requirements expressed in months rather
than flight hours (for example, in the case
of a pilot with only single-engine piston
time transitioning directly into a highperformance jet such as a Cessna Citation
CJ3+ or Embraer Phenom 300). As the
insurance market has dramatically tightened over the past few years, some pilots
are even seeing SOE time presented as
" indefinite " -that is to say, " talk to us in
a year " at the next renewal and they'll
revisit the issue.
Prudent pilots recognize that SOE
may be the last large chunk of learning
time they'll ever have, and use the opportunity to round out their education and
comfort in their new aircraft. I hear too
many pilots who carry the " drinking from
a fire hose " model of learning directly
from their initial training into SOE. They
figure if insurance requires 50 hours, and
they fly six hours a day with an instructor-easy-peasy. In just over a week we'll
have this done!
