I grabbed this from Flight Express' website:
Pilots are required to have the Part 135 IFR PIC minimums per 135.243(c):
- Commercial Single-Engine certificate with an instrument rating
- 1200 Hours Total
- 500 Hours Cross Country - point to point
- 100 Hours Night
- 75 Hours Instrument total - up to 25 in a simulator allowed
- 50 Hours Instrument in FLIGHT - simulated (hood) or actual
Ram Air Freight minimums:
Pilots
must meet the FAR Part 135.243 flight time requirements for single-pilot IFR, which are:
- 1,200 Total Time
- 500 Cross Country (point to point, not necessarily over 50nm)
- 100 Night
- 75 IMC or simulated IMC, with 50 in actual flight (i.e., can only count 25 hours of simulator time)
If this is any indication, I'm out of the game for a long time.
