Yesterday evening Google brought me to this site: Time Building, Hours Building (http://www.flyingtimebuilding.com/index.htm)
Does anybody know them? Hour building in Europe, especially in Hungary which is an amazing place, should be nice at those rates!

The Seneca would be attractive to me, as it is all but impossible to charter a twin in Central Europe for affordable prices. However, no pricing info on the homepage.
Will email them and keep you informed ...

I am looking for a place where build up my hours after PPL and ATPL theory and their ads say: 50 hours C152 with accomodation 2 weeks: 3.618 EUR!
Nice price - website seems a little shoddy though

This should be their primary website: SKYTAXI (http://www.skytaxi.hu/eng.html)
I know a place in Slovenia (which is next to Hungary) which offers 50 hours on DA-20 for 4,990€, including VAT and 50 landings.

No GAZ45, but I wish I already had a flying job, no matter the aircraft type!:O
I am about to start PPL here in Italy and then study ATPL theory straight away - next step would be hour building.
If I'd worked for them, I wouldn't have written anything about other schools and hour building places like NCB Aviation and its likes.
Was only joking mate.:) Looks like a great price considering it includes accomodation! Let us know if you go there would be interested to see what its like.

It isn´t true. The price is 89 euro/hour, and not include accomodation

3618 eur .may be true but without fuel. :confused:

If you're looking at training in Hungary, check out these websites:
Pilótaképzés (http://www.flyteam.hu/pilotakepzes)
Pilot training (http://www.flyteam.hu/en/pilotakepzes)
Umm, the English site doesn't seem to have the prices listed, but if you look at it in Hungarian, you'll see what's on offer.
Another:
Pannonair (http://pannonair.hu/pilotakepzes)
same deal as with previous website, when I switch to English, I can't see prices... But there you have it.
CAVOK Aviation Training Ltd. | Repliskola | Piltakpzs | Starepls | Piltaiskola | Replgp brls PPL NVFR ME IR CPL ATPL A320 Type Rating (http://www.cavok.hu/index.php?page=pricelist)
This site seems a little shoddy, but is worth checking out (to get an idea of prices if for nothing else)
I've never flown in Hungary but am seriously considering it (got my PPL in USA, flew in UK, then stopped due to financial reasons, I'm sure many can relate)
Although you'll have to sort out your accommodation if you choose to go there (as you would anywhere unless you fly from somewhere near home), but the cost of living is low. I would fly out of either Tokol Airport (LHTL I think, near Budapest) or Szeged (LHUD).
Whatever you do, best of luck! :ok:

On the "hour building" page of the SkyTaxi website, the Cessna 152 rate is 91 Euro/hour, not 89. Ambiguous...
That said, flying a C152 in Central Europe for around 90 Euros/hr is interesting - provided fuel is included. But remember to check in the local (Hungarian) AIP how many airfields have ATC or AFIS; in most non-English speaking countries, you have to use the local language for R/T at uncontrolled airfields. Better check first... building hours while flying between half a dozen airfields is pointless - and the larger controlled airports may not welcome light aircraft.
Just a thought...
Cheers :cool:

That's a valid point re English language.. Many schools offer instruction in English, I'm sure you can get by without speaking the local language. And I would like to think that even FISOs have at least a rudimentary knowledge of English anyway. After all, foreign pilot wannabes have been known to train there.
I'm almost certain that all airports accept light A/C, maybe except Liszt Ferenc airport at busy times. But I've seen GA aircraft on the apron there too.
Also, given the size and location of the country, flying to another country falls within range of even a Cessna 150, so you have more options in terms of aerodromes to fly to.
If interested, here's a link to ATC services offered at various aerodromes

Poland is also very very cheap for hourbuilding. There are many flyingclubs in Krakow, Poznan and Lodz where the going rate for a Cessna 150 is probably less than €90 per hour including fuell. Worth to contact a few
Aeroklub Krakowski - Strona g?ówna (http://www.aeroklubkrakowski.pl/)
Aeroklub Wroc (http://www.aeroklub.wroc.pl/)
Aeroklub ?ódzki im. Franciszka ?wirki (http://www.aeroklub-lodz.pl/)
Aeroklub Gda (http://www.aeroklub.gda.pl/)
And with more than 100 airfields you are not likely to get bored. I would recommend to go South to do some mountainflying in the Tatras.
