ths for the reply...really helpful!
as to clarify the situation more....am copying an e-mail my pilot relative sent me...even against my belief i wont b able to give names of school n' airport due to personal reason
''My dear
the name of the school is X and is located at Y Airport not too
far from where we live, with this school you will do the
private license, once you have this license in hand we
can proceed to the next step, multiengine will be done
at Z airport with another of my friends and then we will
get back to X school to complete your instrument training
from there you will have to complete 200 hs of flying many
of them of cross country fly this will be accomplish with
some people that I know they have to fly almost every day
to deliver mail, news papers and goods you will be flying
as second pilot but you will be able to log the time, mean
while you will have to prepare for the written test for
the commercial license for wich I can prepare you myself is
only one day test and is done in any of the authorized
schools I know several of them,
as per flying with us that
will not be a problem because we have presence in
several countries around, them we can validate your license
in any of them and put you as a foreign pilot with US
license and that will complied with all the requirements''
this relative is a great guy n' i've no doubt in him or his intention whatsoever....the problem is he's reaching his retirement n' am afriad he might not b current w/all the rules esp legal stuffs...esp the PIC issue
as becoming a pilot is a big risk would love to make sure i chose the right path....any opinions would b much appreciated
