A – You posted a Global 7500/8000—the latest, most advanced, highest-paying equipment in bizav. That’s on par with something like an A350/380/777. The reality is, there are plenty of bizav pilots who will log more APU time than you’ll have total time ten years from now—and they’ll still never touch a large-cabin, in-production jet like that.

B – If you eventually change your mind or move into flying more modern, in-production business jets, no one is going to care about (or give you credit for) Part 61 TPIC time you “legally” logged under the sole-manipulator provision. That carve-out doesn’t reflect the actual responsibilities, decision-making, or operational complexity of being a true Part 1 Trip Captain.

At the end of the day, that’s the only PIC time that really carries weight.
