Working in the US

Seems the yanks are desperate for instructors too, on the AFAP website theres an advert for ARIBenaviatorin Florida..

So would anyone be intereted. Personally they would have to pay for my conversion rather than pay them 5,000 up front and hope they stick to the deal of refunding it after 14 months.

The ad says most of the instruction is multi-engine so I assume you'll need META on top of your instructor's rating? Or do they do this for you as a part of the $5000 you pay for the conversion?

Do you need a minimum of 50 hours multi command for multi-engine training approval (or the FAA equivalent) in the US?

FAA does not have an hours requirement for multi engine training - other than 5 hours in make and model.

Chances are your MEI (Multi Engine Instruction) course, as well as your Commercial will all be done on one checkride. Think 10 - 15 hours roughly in all!!! Maybe with an in house examiner...? Gotta love the ole US of A.

You just never know with job ads over here, the position could be located at the Iraq School of Flying.
