Saving Money on Flight Training

gk, thats at Executive in Orlando (KORL). No other schools close plus this one is nice from what I have seen and heard.
Its 104/hr for a C-172S, 139/hr for C-182 w/ G1000 & G430.
The next closest school are nearly an hour away in Sanford and Kissimmee.

This school was my first choice and after researching the ones in the surrounding area it seems to be what I am/was looking for.

Saving Money v. Maximizing Value

Earning all your single-engine ratings through CFI-I and then adding your Commercial Multi and MEI might save you money, but will leave you on the short end of the battle to build multi time, especially when multi PIC is what it's all about.

You might consider earning your Private Single, flying the single to build your cross-country time toward your Commercial, then Private Multi, Commercial-Instrument Multi, and then hopping into the right seat of the multi to earn initial CFI certification as an MEI and/or CFI-I. All time in the multi after Private Multi will be multi PIC. Then, get back into the simple single for Commercial Single and CFI-A. At least two major flight schools use this plan. It maximizes your multi PIC time while giving you value for those expensive hours.

It boils down to cost versus value. Considering that some regionals these days hire with two hundred or less of multi, getting more multi sooner might get you to the regionals quicker.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Saving Money on Flight Training...

...is not possible. Flying is expensive by nature. You'll spend the least amount of money, however, by studying your rear end off and flying often.
