Multi-Engine hour building.
I saw this on American e-Bay and thought it interesting.
E-Bay item number 263561585692
Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche in Chicago Illinois for rent.
Ten hour blocks minimum.
$259 an hour dual wet.
630 394 4757
I didn’t quite understand the part about safety pilot and ‘for insurance’ purposes.
My guess is you can’t take the plane away by yourself.
Multi engine training available.

It's definitely worth doing if you're still hour building - it'll get you used to multi and save on training costs later on.
It won't be pic as far as EASA is concerned if you're with an instructor.

Hour Building - Anywhere but Florida
Hi all,
I’m currently competing my ATPL’s and am on the hunt for somewhere interesting to buld about 75 hours. I want to take the path less trodden (but without putting myself in mortal danger in the process).
I would consider almost anywhere, self-fly bush piloting in Africa, Australia, South America or even the more ;conventional destinations of Europe, the USA e.g. Arizona and Canada. The only requirement I have is not to spend the time drilling circles in the sky above the featureless Florida marshland!
Cost is unfortunately still king with an absolute maximum budget of 15,000 GBP including flights and accommodation.
Wisdom from those in the know would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hello
I will be having easa ppl in east europe next month. Since i ve discoverd pprune, hour building in usa idea is making me excited thanks to you all. At first i was just interested in hour building, but after reading @rudestuff's posts, i will consider to have and IR on easa ppl (piggyback). Just looking for an option making it possible without student visa. (probably tourist visa wont help, i will need an m1)
So probably i will need to move like this
1. Easa ppl -----> 61.75 ppl paperwork
2. Rent a plane and fly 50 hours VFR
3 Have an IR on 61.75(not sure how i can do it)
4 Then fly 50 more hours IFR
5. Wearing hood, night etc
6. Conversion according to cbir in europe
it would be much appreciated if you could suggest an instructor or an aero club where i could finish this process easily.

Hour building California
Hi,
Many of the search results here are fairly old so wanted to see if anyone could recommend a place to hire aircraft for hour building on the west coast. Ideally I'd like to tour up the country so overnights are a must.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
