What type of flight hours?
Long trips on the autopilot.
Just general aviation stuff, primarily in a Mooney Acclaim S.
I do have a multi-engine rating, because I thought I might want one in the mountains where I live, but I’ve been very pleased with the Acclaim. It’s plenty fast and I can land almost anywhere.
I’m a big/tall guy and just don’t fit in a commercial plane seat, so it’s not just a hobby; it’s my means of interstate transportation.
From what I read in Flying, you can build up your hours by instructing at the school you trained at. Of course you still need the type rating, but now days the FAA will accept simulator time, like from FlightSafety, toward the 1500. Sure wish I was twenty years younger
