You would barely feel the gravity of any stellar massed black hole from even 1 parsecs away. Also, wouldn't relativistic effects mean the trip would actually take longer if the trajectory cuts too close to the event horizon?
I'll try to do the math for a supermassive black hole and get back to you... He'll have to do hyperspace as well to travel parsecs, so it's not clear what the physics of that would be though...
