[comander]

Thanks to everyone for sharing , I will keep searching for schools ,I would rather do accelerated training .
I called flishsafety and pea they will send info.

Ill search for that place in mn thanks.and I guess it is better then to do comercial in a twin engine aircraft?

Commercial in a single, then IFR, then MEL. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is what you would call the "normal" route at most local FBO's. But a lot of these accelerated courses, such as Flight saftey do commercial instrument in a twin if Im not mistaken. Their seminoles go for 340$ an hour with instructor

Why did it take too long?

How often did you fly each week when you were getting your private license?

 

[Say Again Over]

Depends on a few things, mostly your wallet, if you were flying once a week, there's very little retention, your spending a lot on a review of what you did on your last lesson, if you have airplane availability and CFI availability, it will be cheaper to do it in one month, (weather permitting).

You dont have to go to one of those acadamys to get done fast. When I was teaching I got a guy done with his instrument rating in 14 days. He studied his butt off when he was at home and did 2 to 3 lessons (flight or ground) with me each day. I will also say that he was a helicopter guy and was getting the Instrument added to his fixed wing side of his cert so that probably had a lot to do with getting it done in 14 days.... but in any event if you buckle down and get a CFI that will fly you twice a day you can get it done in the same time as you would at a place like ATP....and you should be able to save thousands (5000-15000 is my guess...havent instructed for about 5 years so I have no idea how much rental rates are these days) of dollars.

Finding a FBO that is part 141 approved will also help save some money because then you will have less flight time requirements then if you go to a school that is just part 61 approved.

PPL, Inst, Multi-comm= about $35,000

If you use a flying club it could be alot less.
Join the civil air patrol. Become an airport bum. You could do it six months and save a lot of money. You'll still have enough left over to pay for one of the airline jet prep. courses and buy a car and of course....lots of beer.
Don't be in a hurry to go into lots of debt. I've listened to Captains cry and whine about having to pay their loans and not having any money, while I was buliding a new house as an FO.
Good luck and stay focused on your goals.

Agree with above.. my cost up to commercial multi instrument, high performance, high altitude was about 22k. If you plan it all out, and don't be in a hurry and jump into an accelrated program, you will save a bunch!

ok so I have comed to a point where its not looking so nice, they raised my pay at walmart .90cents more I just came back from a 3 month personal leave so If I ask for another one they will probably send me to hell.these would be to go to florida or one of those academys.
second at my local fbo they are low on instructors more even for instrument instructors.
now can anybody tell me if I do intrument on part 41 do i need 50 hours cross country and then I need 40 hours with intructor??
thats a lot of time and bullsh1t. and thats only for intrument wow man these might take way to long .
