Hour building around Orlando, FL. Sharing flight time in MArch 09
Hi
I will be around Orlando starting from MArch 10th for four weeks to build up 100 flight hours on my PPL.
Anyone interested in sharing the hours? Either the whole 100 hours or less.
I already have all the info about flying and the logistics but I am open to rearrange the details if needed.
Let me know
cheers

hour building
Hi Mattia,
some years ago i would have jumped at the possibility to do this but got my own a/c that i fly whenever i want but i know someone looking at doing exactly what you plan to do but on the west coast. He is open to ideas so if you pm me i will put you in contact with this guy. He is just finishing his FAA ATPL and needs to build 100 hrs like you, maybe you can share the time..

Are you talking about splitting the cost of the 100 hrs between 2 people and flying say half each? Is that allowed? I thought you needed to do 100 hrs as PIC, ie as you in sole control of the plane.

The idea behind sharing is purely to have someone with you for company and maybe a few extra skills.. It's not possible to log PIC hours with 2 people in the plane.
If anything it's actually less beneficial to have someone with you cause you can't go as far for the money

well a mate of mine split the hours. He flew 50, the other guy flew 50 and they both claimed all the hours. Whether or not this was legit I don't know, but it shouldn't be!
(he is currently paying me protection money the stop me from informing the CAA!)

That's Right as mentioned by DaveD. Only the PIC can log hours when both seats (left and right) are occupied by pilots. Dual logging is only possible when e.g. an instructor is on board. However though, I find the idea of having a fellow pilot accompanying you a good one because it is an opportunity to learn from one another. At the same time, if both pilots are going to fly a total of 200 hours, they could negotiate a good price per hour form the FBO. Have fun.

I agree.
It's only valid for FAA (see link below)
Rod Machado's Learn to Fly Page
but not for JAA
cheers

I will be out there from 15th March to the 24th march on holiday.
I will be taking a scenic tour at some point but only looking at an hour or 2.
Incidentally what school are you going to rent from? Im probably going with sunstate aviation or Orlando flight training as they are closest to my partners house.

Try Tailwheels at Winterhaven only 20 minutes drive from Kissimee, cheaper, no surcharges and a really great bunch of guys. Not to mention the other side of the airfield is Jack Browns Sea Plane base. Awesome, I did my Commercial Sea Plane rating with them.

What tailwheels or Sunstate were cheaper and closer?
When I flew from Kissimee last year the final bill was very different to the advertised rate as the 'fuel surcharge' appeared from nowhere.

Tail wheels,
They are advertising $108/hr for a PA28, and OFT are $119/hr so its cheaper from the start.
Have you any experience with plant city airport guys? They have some nice looking 172's for rent.

I had the same issue with a club based at FXE. They applied a fuel surcharge to their wet rates but any fuel I uplifted away from base was only refunded at their old (much lower) rate so I effectively paid twice

I have no experience of the plant city airport or any of the schools their. I found a place I am comfortable with and keep going back! Hence the trip next month.
