I am trying to determine if the type of aircraft I build FW time in will matter when going to apply for an RTP. Right now I need about 130 hours of FW time to get to my R-ATP. I am applying for RTPs, but didn't want to sit around and wait to be picked up since I can afford and have the time to fly.
Obviously I will need multi-engine time later on.
But for the majority of those hours, does the complexity of the cockpit matter or can I build time at my local airport flying Cessna 172s?
Thanks.
