Part 91 instruction

[MikeOH58]

So i'm scrolling through my logbook, and I have 38.4 hours of duel recieved, BE-200, during 91 flights, before I got my AMEL.

I've now got about 80 in type, and i'm going to for initial training in just under 2 months, so i'm not worried about systems and knowing the airplane during a future interview. Furthermore, the time is 100% legit...Everyone i've spoken with has told me since it was legit time, there is nothing to worry about, but there is just a part of me that remains worrysome. I guess its just because I logged so many hours duel recieved, and I don't want a potential future interviewer to think I was trying to cheat or beat a system.....

argh...so anything to be possibly concerned over, or am I over thinking?

Woah! Man!! 38 hours of dual??? What - can't you do nothin' right??

Hey ! Jes' kiddin' - no, you don't have anything to worry about. We wish more people would get more dual.

There are people out there that would think that's weird, but it's legit time. Whether or not an interviewer would accept it is another story. Most people get their multi in less time, so it might be looked at as worth less than having PIC in the -200. People get the difference between "legit" and "how much is this flight time worth" confused all the time. Just don't take it personally if you apply somewhere right at their mins and they drill you a little about that 38 hours. It might be because they want to know if it qualifies for their mins or not, it's nothing personal.

What makes it personal is when someone is chapped about not getting a job and says "They wouldn't hire me because they don't think my time was legit!"

The interviewer would probably say "Close, but the real reason was we were looking for more real PIC time and candidate B had it."

I have 150 hours of right seat -200 time, which I logged after I got my AMEL. I couldn't use it as required crewmember time or total time, but I showed an interviewer my records and they didn't really care.
