So if you get a PPC on a 185 are you PPC'd on the 185 on floats too??
Just from the 'insurance' point of view, if company X want XXX hours on floatcraft A and you can get said hours on wheel aircraft A does that count towards the insurance minimums???

True, but not entirely. People tend to forget a PPC (pilot proficiency check) is valid for a specific certificat holder only (even if it can be transfered to another certificat). The PIC of a single engine airplane which is limited to fly VFR does not require a PPC, but requires a PCC (pilot competency check). The difference is quite simple, he/she does not need to demonstrate proficiency to a "check pilot" (TC or in house) but rather need to demonstrate competency to the training pilot. Less paperwork involved. Most of the time the PIC is not issued a PCC card, proof of his competency is noted in his/hers training file. To the best of my knowledge, PCC are also transferable.
You can't fly an otter with pax at night or IFR in a CAS. The only single engine a/c approved are the pc 12 and c208. They require flight safety, 50 hrs on type, and 1000tt. (as far as i know at least)???????
I understand that you can't operate a single engine piston at night or in IFR if you intend to carry passengers in a CAS. However, where does the Flight Safety, 50 hours, etc come from?
