Alphamale, Capt Relax
I was told that i could to the APP two ways: stay in Florida and do the ATPLS while working as an instructor OR return home and study, then return to EFT for the professional training. It's totallly a personal preference. Personally I am going to do the latter and try to get the exams out of the way, then return to EFT. I also found the website very confusing but in talking to EFT they cleared up a lot of my concerns.
In terms of hours I will receive, EFT said I would expect to attain in the region of 200 multi hours during the course and then 500 instructing and another 500 - 600 hours single engine. I have not got this in writing and I will contact EFT this evening to see if I can get the contract sent out.
In my dealings with EFT so far I have found them to be very accomadting, lets hope it stays that way.
