Flight School Multi Op's

[8HourPilot]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out which flight schools have opportunity's for staff CFI's or someone else to get into something other than the multi aircraft they use for training.

I.E. SIU has a couple 421's they do some university trans flights on......stuff like that.

Does Ohio U still use the King Air's?
Does UND have any a/c used staff trans...how about riddle?

I read that UND has a couple Queen Air's in AOPA Training a while ago, but they may have changed by now.

University of Michigan has at least one Queen Air, as far as I know. They do a lot of state flying with it, cause I talked to the pilot one time when they had brought a couple of 12 biscuit eating, Barney Fife looking, deputy types to pick up a prisoner from the town I was laying over in.

Nope. They have a Cheyenne and a Citation. Both are piloted by the high ranking UND instructors, so chances of working your way up that latter are pretty much nil. UND hires almost all of their instructors from within, so unless you went (or plan on going) to UND, it wont be worth the time. Besides, Grand Forks sucks anyway.

Your best bet is to find a flight school that does some charter and try to get a job there...

Oh, must have gotten UND mixed up with Michigan. Can students ride a long in the right seat of the Cheyenne or do they fly it 2 pilots? I think the ariticle said that the students at some school, I think Michigan, could ride along in the right seat of the school's Queen Air's.

I think they fly the Cheyenne and Citation with two pilots. Students never ride along. That right is reserved for the social elite among the employed flight instructors (i.e. - the kiss-asses)
