military comp for type rating-Cincy?

You can review the below link to the General Aviation Operations Inspector Handbook (Order 8700). You will see the procedure the Inspector is suppose to follow and the 10 hour requirement.

Good link. That explains it a bit better.

With the T-1 training, all of our flights, except for 3, were flown from the left seat with us using PIC procedures (The IP basically played our SIC). Although we didn't have a "type ride", we had 3 checkrides consisting of transition (airwork - stalls, slow flight, steep turns, etc..., a few approaches and a lot of pattern work, consisting of some single-engine work too), a nav ride with a 500-1000AGL IR or VR low level leg and 3-4 approaches and then a "Mission Fam" ride consisting of formation flying with either air refueling procedures or low level flying.

Despite knowing a few right seaters who've gotten their types in the 707, I'm glad I haven't applied for it yet, because after reading about the 10 hour PIC requirement, I don't think they deserve a the full up PIC type (maybe SIC), since all of our KC-135 training was in the right seat. I don't think there are many commercial outfits flying B707's these days anyway.

TankerDriver,

Good post. You are 100% correct, too bad most FSDO's don't agree.
