Multi Engine & Time Building? Multiengine.net
Hello, Everyone I am getting ready to do my Multi Engine then do some time
building right after that dose anyone recommend a good place to go and build time that is cost effective after getting the multi engine? I only found 1 place http://www.multiengine.net/ it costs $350.00 for a check out and $3,500 for 100 hours of Multi Engine Time. Has anyone dealt with multiengine.net? Steven Rhine CP-ASEL-IA |

It seems that the best deal going is multiengine.net so I guess I just need feedback on that company before I lay my hard earned cash down. $3,500 for 100 hours of Multi Time seems to be a very good buy almost to good to be true! Set off that big bull shi* indicator in my head I thought would do some checking to see if it is a to good to be try type of deal. |

I'm sure that is a dry rate and even at that it also sets off my BS meter.
Add $100 per hour for fuel (25 gph x $4) and I still don't see how they could do it for $135 per hour wet in a TwinCo. Maybe in a clapped out Apache on autogas. Jim "NW_PILOT" wrote in message ...

Steven Rhine CP-ASEL-IA There has to be a catch. That's only $35/hr even if they are doing the two pilots/one under the hood thing that is only $70/hr for a twin. I say it must in some way be a rip off. Ask them for some names of those who have done it. |

That's $35/hr per pilot. So $70/hr dry. Seems a bit cheap but you don't
know what the plane is really like. Probably the best way to do it is to buy a twin with someone you know. Fly the hell out of it for a couple months and then sell it quick before anything breaks. I've known people who have done this and ended up selling it for the same price they bought it for. Expect to pay around $4000/yr for insurance so don't hold the plane for long. In California you must get a dealer license to do this, otherwise you're paying 8% sales tax on the transaction. -Robert |

here is a suggestion: get a buddy in the same situation, and
fly with him/her with one of the two under the hood at all time; both of you can log PIC and sharing the cost... That's what the rates on multiengine.net are based on. All rates are quoted 1/2 assuming two pilots sharing the cost. If you get your MEI you can also log PIC while the other guys logs PIC too. A good reason for the MEI. -Robert |

Steve,
Under the Flight Program it says "We fly offshore 5-7 hours a day. You will be the Flying Pilot for each of these flights, from KGLS to the return leg of the same. All flight[s] have a 7AM local show for that flight, and should return the same day..." It looks to me like this company is ferrying parts or people, most likely part 91, and is willing to let you fly for them (probably with a company pilot), everyday at 7AM, and you pay them for the experience. Not a bad deal if you want to move to Galveston and pay someone to work. Mitch - we rent a PA23-150 for $135 wet http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChickashaWings |
