Purchasing Multi Time rgt seat

[Sydney]

Is it right to buy 250 hours of multi-time in the right seat for 11 grand? This offer is through a program that places you right seat on a cheiftain flying cargo. Anyone know how the airlines look at this? Is this hurting the industry or simply building 135 experience? I needs to know.

Go down a few topics in the training section and check out the PFT titled ones. Should accurately answer your question.

DO IT!!!

Nothing is more valuable in your logbook than SIC time in a small piston that you paid for. Don't let anyone but the bank stop you, the world is your oyster until you run out of money.

PFT

I don't think that's PFT, really, as a Navajo is a single pilot aircraft. Which brings up the point of how you can legally log SIC time in a single pilot operation? Is 135 ground school part of the deal?

11 grand and you get the non loggable type.

If it's Part 135 and an SIC is required by the company's ops manual, then it can be logged as SIC time, even if the aircraft was certified single-pilot.

Only if you've gone through their 135 SIC course.. You can't just hop in and log SIC time.

i've figured out how i can make some extra money flying checks now. sell out the right seat of my 402 for $11k. i'll be hanging out at the local flight school soliciting.

I would say that is not going to be a good use of your money. Is there any sort of flow through that would get you a job at this company.

There are places out there that you can almost do a PFT deal and at least get a job out of it!
