That is correct.

they still offer just an instrument or commercial stuff as well. They are just very well known for the $1295 multi...

Yes, if you have your commercial instrument right now the multi is just an add on so you will be single and multi engine commercial, instrument airplane. Common question they get asked. Still just $1295 no matter how many hours it takes you to get it.

Glad Don Scott is still doing checkrides. He is one of those examiners that want you to have learned something during the checkride and come away from it not just being certified, but to be a better pilot too, rather than just some exercise of checking off PTS standards and signing you off.

pgcfii2002,

If you have your single engine commercial license and instrument rating, it is $1295 to add your multi rating onto that. Like I said, if you have your instrument rating, you are good. If you don't have your instrument rating, you will be able to get your multi rating but with VFR only restriction. Help any?

So it is basically a Multi VFR add on? Or is it a Multi Commercial (or Multi IFR) add on for $1295?????

Sounds from your post its just a Multi Private add on (with IFR privledges for ASEL IFR)....

Okay, $1295 for a Multi Comm/IFR add on to the ASEL Comm/IFR add on.....

Not a bad deal, a bit cheaper than Shebles.....much more to be exact!!

 

[pgcfii2002]

Only reason I ask is...Shebles offers the Multi IFR/Multi Comm for around $2295 EACH.....something like $5100 total for both!!!

Looking at Sheble's website also confused me when I was looking for a place to get my multi.

One thing that everybody misses in this "get the me add on quick" deal is the fact that when it comes to renting more ME aircraft these "quicke" ratings and licenses won't make too much difference.
Compare these two people:
Person #1 : Goes and gets Comm add on for 1295. Comes back to home and still needs 10 hrs of check out on the local twin for $225 + instructor fees
Person #2 : Goes to a local school and gets the commercial add on at 10 hrs at 225 + instructor and then is able to rent the me aircraft.

Which one would you rather be?
In this day and age of 'get there fast' a lot of people are missing these points.

You've got some valid points but in my current situation, 3 hrs. vs. 10 hours will not help me any.

Plus, the closest FBO that I could do my multi with is 50 miles from here. I really don't want to shell out the $280 an hour they want for a baron if I don't have to.

Well, just got back from a trip to GKY but it didn't pan out the way I wanted it to. The weather did not cooperate with me, so I am going to have to go back down there in a couple of weeks to do my checkride. The folks down there run a first class operation, and the service from them cannot be any better. Everything good that has been said about their operation is in line. The time building program they offer looks pretty good also. 10 hours for $1290. Where can you buy 10 hours for $129 an hour? If anyone is looking to get their multi, give this place a try.

Except that the training you get from Clyde's place is excellent. Its all they do. All of the guys are experienced, and your instructor is not the 500 hr boy wonder you might find at your local FBO!!!!

Also, its nice to get the rating fast and start logging PIC as you learn. The multi PIC time is better than just dual. Who can afford to rent a twin solo anyways? And where do they let you rent one solo nowadays?

I was delayed getting my ATP there. The wx was not do-able....If it is do-able they will get it done!!

I'm scheduled to go out here June 2nd my commercial/inst add-on. Any tips? Any Hotels that you'd recommend or that I should stay away from? Thanks!
