Hey guys, I need some advice for getting my multi rating. I have two options that I can do. Tell me what you would would do.
Option 1. Fly a 310 from the FBO that I am a regular at. I know the chief pilot fairly well and have flown there for 10 years. I hope to get hired there when I get my CFI. I have no time in a 310. After I get my rating I would be able to rent the 310 anytime for time building.
Option 2. Fly an aztec at another FBO where I obtained my instrument and Commercial. The instuctor is also an examiner. I flew this exact aztec for 10 hours to get the 10 hours complex time for my commercial. In those 10 hours we pretty much covered everything that I would do for my multi. I really dont think there is much opportunity to rent the aztec after I get my rating. The examiner owns it, and I think he just does dual with it. I know exactly what to expect from the check ride. The examiner has been a great instructor and I would like to go with him, but I also want to have an opportunity to build time easily, and not have to get checked out in the 310 if I decide to go the aztec route. The rates are both about $200/hour. I am concerned that If I go with the aztec, the chief pilot at the other FBO will be like " Thats nice, you want to work for us, but you didnt go with us for multi training".
Thanks guys!
