Okay, so I need abot 250 more hours to meet some insurance requirements for an overseas contract that I would LOVE to get. How can I get this time FAST and without breaking the law or risking life and limb(preferably whilst getting paid)?

Thanks
 
not china, and I can't bring myself to do that.
 
250 hours? Geez, well if you have some cash, you could throw a bunch at AriBen, Central Air Southwest or Key Lime Air or somebody and get it in a few months.
 
I have a 1976 C150M that could use another 250 to 300 hours on it. We could do it in a few weeks 80 hours a week you pay the fuel and oil/filter changes. I ride along as a safety pilot how much you weigh? I am also in Portland, OR.
 
Get a C-150. Rent it dry. Take off and spend 1/2 hour on the taxi back with the intent of flight after every full stop landing. You cna get about 8 hrs a day on one tank of gas. In one month you have another 300 hrs of worthless time. You will learn nothing but you will get cheap time

Funny and true. Nice post YIP.
 
Thanks for the ideas. I'm leaning more toward flight instructing in my free time.

Why do that when there are people like me willing to let them fly a C-150 for cost of fuel/oil only which costs less than a dry rental rate. My offer is open to anyone who wants to build some low cost time.

Equipment in MY C-150

LOC/GS, LOC, ADF, DME, 2 Nav Coms (One Digital), 3LMB, Audio In/Out, Nice Little IFR Setup.

Where are you at and what kind of contract are you looking at? If it is airline, I may be able to give you some suggestions.
 
Just mortgage the house or whatever and keep pumping gas through that 1340

(Bad Stuff About Metro752's Sister Removed)

on another note,

Decided to run my 150 through 1 more annual then she is going up for sale due to lack of use!!!! I am abusing her letting her just sit there. I have plenty of pilots wanting to fly her but no one wants to pay fuel/oil. Averages about $37.50 an hour?

See you all first of the yearish!!

Airplane going down end of December for annual inspection then probably going up for sale in the spring time.
 
So your splitting the 30 bucks (15 a hour) or is it 30 bucks? Either way, dang, does that even cover gas?

Just splitting the gas/oil about $30.00 an hour now it's about $37.00 an hour so about $18.50 an hour average. But I am now down for annual got baffling on order should be here just as i am crossing 30W again so when I return will help finish up annual.

Thats a darn good deal.

Yes, it is!!! I am about $350.00 in to getting the baffling repaired and pieces replaced looking great just waiting on the seal kit from enginebaffles.com should be completing annual on Monday/Tuesday. Lowest cylinder was 72/80. Lots of hours lubing and looking so far it's been a great little plane. After all the sweat I think I am gonna keep her.

We had an older pilot took early retirement from her non-flying job, bought a Cessna flew it 1400 hours in one year, landing a 135 PIC job, 6 months later, CV-580 F/O, and six months later DC-9 F/O. Two years from first flight to DC-9 F/O. This was 1998

One did (A Student) but he was interested in flying it to learn and solo I told him buy his own insurance with hull at 30k and help with general preventive maintenance costs oil changes etc.. and let me check his instructor out and I will make an extra set of keys. He said no was to expensive, I told him to pound sand after we went up for an hour on my dollar.....

Seems people want something for nothing no wonder most aircraft owner just don't offer.

My deal here was Simple 1/2 the gas I sit right seat! You Fly! Simple Gas at my home Airport Costs About $34 An Hour Now So at $17.00 an Hour the flight time is nearly free.... And they Still Complain or are to FAT hahaha

So hell with them all!!!! She's all mine Now they can go and rent at almost $100.00 or more in some places an hour!
 
Totally take you up on that offer to bad your not located close that is a hell of a deal.
