Good thread!
What about the $120 USD per hour in a Bell 206 in the LA area? I remember that there was a thread about it, but in some way it ended up being about a Chuck guys FI qualification (or lack of it).
Anyone know if this is a approved way of building hours towards the 155 hour req.?
I also need a big chunk of hours. However I've been thinking of what to do during these hours, what should I practice? X-C? Just flying around the local area? Does anyone have an idea, or have any one of you seen plan/lessonplan for hour building? It would be neat to build the time in a structured manner.
Even though one may be financially able to buy the ca 100 hours to the CPL req, the major problem for me is the hours from 185 to 300. Doing the maths for these hours is really sobering. And on top of that - the FI-course.
Any ideas?
