multi-engine time building programs...
Hi,
I've been doing some research about multi-engine programs in the USA (Ariben, Wagner Airways, ASA, etc) These schools offer time building programs in multi-engine aircraft for as little as $54.95/hr, but time is flown under the hood and as a safety pilot. Under FAR's this is legal and honestly I don't see any problem with doing this, but is it really worth it .... I mean half of the time is actually flown PIC and the other half you are just a pax that switches the comm and nav radios.
I'd like to have your point of view and if someone out there done this before, would you recomend it? What is your advise.?
Would you rather spend the money doing actual PIC in a C-152 for time building or would you "invest" on this programs?
Thanks to all, take care and fly safe!
