As I'm aiming for an instructor job in the future I need 300 hrs in Sweden to apply for the course. After my CPL I will have 200 ish hours. I'm right now doing my hourbuilding here in Sweden and I have approx. 90 hours so far. I do it very serious and I'm not just wasting these hours.
However, those addtional hours I intend to fly in the states should go fast as these are only to meet the requirments. As I see it I will do my training as sufficient as I can here in Sweden, so I won't miss out on any training just because I fly 100 hours in a month afterwards in the U.S.
I have found a school which offers R22 solo for $210 / hour!
