Suggest an economical flying school please..

That is alot cheaper than the 80k that the academys are charging these days.

Well you have to be retarded to pay 80k for flight training. Try 35K for Ariben or 45 for ATP.

 

[timeoff]

All these guys that have said 27K which is BS anyways these days for all the cost of training have forgot to include the 20k for 100 hours of Multi-engine time. If you want to find and associate with a crowd that wants to get their foot into the airlines and make a few connections while your at it then go through an academy. If you wan't to find rich guys who are looking for a second hobby and 60 year olds who do nothing but talk smack about the FAA talk about the good old days and then go through an FBO.

You have to be retarded to drop 20g's on 100 hours of multi also. I see the academy marketing tactics have had their effect on you.

I know of at least two FBO's in FL where you can get a 152 for $65 and a nice older IFR 172 for $80. Split your time up after the instrument with another SP doing hood work and your are at 250 hours for under $20k.

So because the FBO this guy goes to isn't what he wanted. That means ALL FBO's are the same.

I can only tell you what I am paying. $27,000 for 260 hours total time and 50 hours of Multi. Thats all ratings thru MEI. I will get the additional multi-time as an instructor. I'll give you the phone number to call for this same deal if you like.

I agree! Keep in mind though the 45k is just a quote (minimum) and does not include a place to stay, food, etc. There are more expenses than just the flight training.

I don't ride 152s. I've never seen a ifr172 for $80 around here especially with the rising fuel prices. And the 20g, that's from my FBO not from an academy. Actually people have told me to go through ATP for multi training.

 

[Sandhu]

Got It..

ya...thanks timeoff....
here i take off with my search engine and this time with a landing destination...:laugh:

Why don't you fly 152's? I know that nowadays it is harder to find them for rent, but they are a great little airplane to get your private in. I did my pvt in one for under $2500 plus instruction.

Plus, why do you think that you need to pay for 100 hours of multi? You can get your Comm/multi and your MEI in under 20 hours (including the PIC requirements). Let someone else pay for your time.

Thank god epaulets are included!

haha yeah I saw that. I really cannot imagine climbing into a 172 while wearing those stripes....

I'll admit when I am wrong, and I was wrong. How many ratings do they expect you to do in 90 days?

but that program is hardcore and they expect you to be flying everyday in order to get Pvt through CFII in 90 days. I know one guy in Arizona that was able to get it done, said it was pretty dang tough though, he is currently working as a CFI in prescott. You werent entirely wrong you still have to pay for your own food/transportation to the airport and such.

 

[unreal]

but that program is hardcore and they expect you to be flying everyday in order to get Pvt through CFII in 90 days.

Seriously, that's retarded. I flew EVERY DAY in the summer for my CFI/CFII/MEI, and it took me a bit over 8 weeks. You're talking about Private -> CFII in ~13 weeks, which is (for most people) barely enough time to even get a Private certificate.

I couldn't imagine the burnout rate, not to mention that flying everyday for 90 days is a horrible way to have a student learn effectively. Do they really expect a student to be at any more than a rote level, or is it just a school that gets you the ratings without ensuring that you know how/why things happen the way they do?
