Buy a light twin fly it with the mixtures leaned, then sell it again.

That should cover it.

Is this *really* a professional training question?

Try Ari Ben Aviator Flight Training I think the way it works is you get paired up with another pilot and both log P1 time and share the cost, which I belive is legal in the U.S

There used to be a reasonable priced twin at Peterborough Connington. Link below:

Flying Club Conington - Aircraft hire, flight training

or you could try Papa Bravo Aviation at Bagby. Again link below:

You probably wont find cheaper than this DA42 for £100ph wet, if you join the non equity group at £170 per month.

eg, 10 hours a month = £117 per hour!! less if you fly more!

The DA42 above is £130/HR & £170/Month - Minimum 6 months up front was what I was told.
But sadly has poor availability due to maintenance down time or at least that has been the case, its barely flown in recent months.

However if you get a good run and it stays serviceable for a week or two could be some good value multi flying to be had.

Good luck.

In case you're going on holiday this year and set foot on US soil, do some flying there. I paid 200 Dollars an hr for my multi-timebuilding, including fuel and instructor.

Oh, I remember when i worked as a CFI in the US, us instructors could rent the twin (Seminole) for $100/hr wet... Less than what the students paid for a 172... nice to go get a $100 hamburger

Donair EMA have a SenecaII for hire at 230/hr solo and 259/hr with instructor.

Think it might be getting two new engines at the moment.
