Couple questions.
I'm just curious why a boatload of 172 PIC time, repetition instructing in the circuit and nearby practice area, limited to a 10 knot crosswind and CAVOK, qualifies anyone to say they are "experienced".
You will get a lot more experience at manoeuvring, stalls, spins, correcting botched landings, taking off and landing in a crosswind, steep turns, reading a chart, forced approaches, and a bunch of other basic stuff, as an instructor, than you would in the right seat of a 1900. One might reasonably expect.
Most recently qualified CPLs could do with some extra time on all that stuff. If you think, for example, controlled flight on the edge of a stall is a sensible skill to perfect, you might reasonably ask how much time a B1900 first officer gets to do that in the airplane he or she flies.
You won’t get a lot of weather flying, but that doesn’t mean the flying you do get doesn’t hone some skills.
DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
