SInce I took my training longer ago than most of you are alive, I'm confused
about current practices.

I came across a NTSB report that described a pilot with about 320 hours TT, of
which about 75 were as PIC. The pilot was about half way though his flight
training for his IRF rating, had a PPL and Class II physical. He was signed off
on complex SEL aircraft.



I have some students like that. They've started and stopped working on
their private many times. Each time was about a 10 year break. As a
result they end up with several hundred hours when they take their
private checkride very little of which is solo (ie PIC).
