IR renewal prices, Auckland?

[DeltaT]

hi, whats the word on who has a decent rate on a twin for a multi IR renewal in the Auckland (guess it will have to be Ardmore) area?
cheers

I would say 500ft/min would be a good starting point.

nice one gsf

Auckland Aero Club has a Partenavia and Eagle Flight Training has a Duchess. I wouldn't bother with the 'schools' out there. I would hate to think what the going rate is now.

If you are down south, definitely go with Mainland in Dunedin. Great bunch of people, nice machines, reasonable rates.

AAC have a Seneca as well, from memory it is something like $480 per hour for non-members, or at least it was a couple of months ago.

invercargill has a loggable senica sim (proper sim) and a senica II, shouldnt be too expensive with the sim taking out some of the flying time.

Thanks for the help
So far got these rates
Ardmore Aeroclub Duchess $448 +25.70 landing fee, sim $175, don't have to pay to join.
Auckland Aeroclub Seneca and Partinavia $550 non member +$27.68 landing fee, if you pay $265 to join then rate goes to $485.
Out of interest I called Hastings $500 seneca and $100 sim.

Anywhere?

Change of situation.
Anyone know of a cheap Twin Engine plane for about 15hrs of solo hire package deal, anywhere in NZ?

try waikato aeroclub and northshore aeroclub they have PA30 which is a lot cheaper than most twin training aircrafts

Resurrecting an old thread.

Would anyone have any updated info about doing a renewal in Auckland?
Would prefer to do it in a Seneca or a Duchess.
Going to ring AKL aeroclub, Chargemore and North Shore aeroclub tomorrow to find out prices.

Who else am I missing? I haven't flown IFR in about 9 months at this stage.

Not the type you're after, but last I heard Airline Flying Club at Ardmore is operating a Tecnam twin that should be cheaper than any of the others.

[PilotInPink]

Also, if I recall correctly, every second IR renewal can be done in a sim. Not sure about the ones in Auckland, but Waikato Aero Club has an approved sim.

[Lindstrim]

only the X/C portion and 1 approach can be done in a sim

Cheers,

Might have to do it in a 172. Need to do more hours to try and get close to that 50 hours IFR requirement for part 135.
