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

Names pleeeease...

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.

hello timeoff!
Could you tell the names of such two FBOs in FL?
I am desperately searching for them....

 

[Sandhu]

Thats Like....wao...!

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.

Aha...thats really great finding for me desertdog71...!
Do you mind revealling the name of the school pleeease..:smash:
Thanks!

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.

Got It..

ya...thanks timeoff....

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.

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.

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?
