any recommendations for a place to get a cheap commercial MES?

... The only place within reasonable driving distance from where I live that will do a MES commercial charges $500 an hour in a twin sea bee. I figure it may be cheaper to spend the money on a airline ticket and a week's stay in a hotel in order to get it done somewhere in a Apache or something on floats for $200 an hour... Also, would it be best to get the SES first (which is a LOT cheaper), then spend like 2 hours transitioning to the MES, or will I still need 8+ hours of MES time in order to pass the checkride? In other words, if you already have your SES and your MEL, is a MES more or less a formality, or will there most likely have to do a lot more training? Remember, my goal here is to get the rating with the least money as possible. Have you checked http://www.seaplanes.org You 'll need to search by state, but they seem to have rates for most places. |

I doubt that list is totally comprehensive. I was hoping someone knew of a smaller, much cheaper operation tucked away somewhere... |

Remember, my goal here is to get the rating with the least money as possible. Norcal aviation used to do MES training in an Apache. Terri sold the business and I'm not sure if they are still operating or not but you might check them. I think their website was norcalaviation.com -Robert |

I used to do instruction up there near Calaveras. I flew there only once, but I do distinctly remember the apache on floats sitting on the ramp. This, of course was before I ever decided to pursue an MES rating. I see no mention of the apache on their webpage, or anywhere else, so maybe they did sell it or something... |
