Im interested in Riversides Proficiency package....Can anyone let me know how many flying hours are involved in this package and on what type?
I would be interested in doing some ME time too - if anyone knows their current requirements/hire rates after FAA CPL/IR ME issue then that would be of great use!

Do I have to worry about weather delays during these months? Is it advisable to learn to fly at Florida or Texas instead?
Anywhere in the "south" (CA, AZ, NM, TX, OK, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL) is better than the "yankee" states weatherwise.
But think also fleet availabilities, airport ground delays (nobody like to log taxi time), ect etc etc...
RVS seems like a nice place, didn't know about it since this year when I landed there and I found myself surrounded with all those bugs smashers talking to ATC with funny accents :-)
Words of mouth...if the alumni liked it (and are not forced to say good things about it) go for it.
Happy Flying Everybody

Unless Their requirements have changed, they are as follows: Phone uk number. Book. Sit for a couple of hours in the US embassy (remembering to take an unread copy of Pilot and one of Flyby magazine) and then get on a plane and have a ******* hoot! If you are going for the proficiency you may not need an M1 visa as you might not be undergoing any training. For the M.E. Rating As the FAR's say all you need to hold is an FAA PPL, which is pretty much a paperwork excercise that I think you do in the states. Although in the states you need to do about forty hours of training in a M.E. this is about as much as you'd pay for (the realistic) 10 that you'd do here.
Once in Tulsa, Spend your first night in Danny Bob's and then make sure that you find the street named peoria, as I can't allow you to wallow away in that pit. Except of course the nights that shawna is working their!

I'm At Riverside!!
Hey people!! its all good here in Tulsa, we're snowed out for today so no ground classes had the first snow of the season and a great snowball fight last eve with the students and our dear Chief instructor!
Have started ground classes and had my first Sim session with Peter, my instructor. Anyways just wanted to say what a great place this is and the fact that we operate out of a class D airport thats on the border of class C airspace is turning out to be a critical advantage for all us aspiring commercial pilots ....which reminds me ..theres a LOT of those around here!! ...most, like me, from India and theres more coming in but so are the aircraft...5 new 152's arriving this week.....
During my first briefing with Peter he asked me to make a call to an FSS for a Preflight wx brief ...so i did, all the while looking out at the overcast sky and strong winds..just waiting to snow....and when the Wx guy heard i was calling "for VFR" he burst out laughing! "where ARE you? are you near a window?!"
But when I told him it was my first ever call and for practice only , Boy was he helpful! he patiently took me through each part of the standard wx brief and I wish there was some way for me to thank him.....
Thazzit for now folks,
