How long should you keep flying in 152?

[DUATS]

On the first flight of my line training as a new hire, we were told by ground to hold, then turn onto a taxiway behind a 757 and follow it to the runway.

"Roger," said the captain. "Follow the light twin."

We were in a B747.

I once flew with a guy who insisted on calling Citations "the Cessna product" on the radio. Irratated more than a few X drivers!

If the 152 is IFR certified (don't forget that includes altimeter, pitot static system and transponder), you could fly everything in it up to your commercial. Since RG rentals are hard to find and expensive, you might consider doing your initial commercial in a light twin. (Ten of the 20 hours for that could still be done in the 152.) The single commercial add-on can then be completed without a complex single.

Of course, you could just stick with the private single unless you plan to flight instruct or fly a Caravan.

1200 hours, then get COMM/MEL/INST and you are in line for 135 IFR PIC, The hiring boom is coming and there will be lots of those jobs.
