Multi engine hours
Hello to all, I'm researching going somewhere (open minded about uk, europe, n,america etc) to get hold of about 50 hrs multi time. I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience of any such company that has decent quality crates at nice prices?
much obliged - PM me if you prefer.
cheers

Interesting, Is that 100 hours course something like 50hrs P1 and 50hrs flying PAX with another student? or is it full 100hrs P1 minus check out and MEP rating hours?

On paper it should work like this. You fly as P1 all the time, under the hood or a similar view limiting device. They pair you up with an FAA CPL/IR holder. He can act as safety pilot under FAA rules and can log the hours. You pay the lions share of the cost and although he never touches the controls he gets to log cheap hours.

That's the way it used to be potkettleback, but the school have recently figured a way round it, to attract more JAA time builders. If you have ALL of the stick time, then you can log ALL of the time under JAA. Now if YOU were acting as safety pilot (as used to happen in the past) then no, you could not log that time. But as I say, you're not there as safety pilot, you would be the one doing ALL of the flying. I am 100% sure that I'm correct on this one, though I'm sure there will be disbelievers.
Best thing would be to email or phone them to ask how JAA guys can log all the hours as P1. I don't work for them though.

There is no point in the PF flying VFR as the safety pilot cannot log any time. He/she can only log time if the PF is under the hood. That 100hrs is only cheap if you log half as safety pilot. If you want to log 100 hours as PF not under the hood then expect to pay twice as much for your time.
However the answer to your question is no, you don't need a safety pilot if you are flying and you ARE NOT under the hood. The only time you may require a safety pilot is for insurance reasons. some schools require you have a minimum of 50-100hours in twins before you can rent on your own. If you dont have this time, a safety pilot with sufficient hours could fly with you.
