NJA 250 Hr Instrument Requirement

[OldPilot]

This is really getting interesting.............

 

[DO-82 driver]

Hardly.....I find myself learning something new everytime I fly with one of our more "seasoned" pilots.... Wish we had more of them in the XL fleet.

Build QUALITY time before applying.

You couldnt be more correct. You could have 600 hours of "hood time" in a 172; it wont help you a bit when it comes to doing 320kts to 136kts in Class B getting in line for the VOR circle in TEB, and you dont break out until your 100 feet from MDA.

My advice to a low time pilot looking for a career at NetJets:

• Get a right seat gig in a Lear
• Go fly Freight
• Go fly an RJ for 2 years
• Go into the military

Did I just have a civil conversation with DO-82?

Now back to your regularly scheduled bashing...

You have a hard time in TEB?

Why, because you're a *************************? I mean you fly a GV. I thought you guys knew everything.

Uh, where did this come from? I was simply trying to explain flying Netjets aircraft can be "instrument" demanding under certain circumstances.

But since you asked... Why yes I do fly a GV, but I started in a C152
