There are a few places that offer an Aircam on amphibious floats - you can get multi land and sea at the same time for about £2000

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.

1. Get an FAA IR
2. Rent a plane in Florida.
3. Fly it away from Florida
4. ....wearing a hood
5. ..... preferably at night
6. ....... definitely under IFR for at least 50 hours
7. Convert under CBIR rules with Zero minimums

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
 

Is there a limit on how many hours you can fly daily? Say I have a ppl with NR am I allowed to fly 4-6 hours (not continuously) in a Cessna 152/172?

Yes, you can't fly more than 24 hours in a day.

Why did I bother? *sigh*

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.

Thanks Kai Tak. Have you used them previously?

Time building in USA
 

Hi everyone,

I am current planning my time building,sorry if it is already awnsered.Can i log hours on non-Easa plane,so i can use it for getting easa-cpl?

Anyone planning to do hour building next month?

Cross Country:

Has anyone done east to west coast of vice versa for the benefit of hour building?

How long has something like Florida to California taken?

How many hours could you burn flying something like that route?

Do you have an idea of the cost of it yet?

How many hours a day are you intending to cover?

How long will you spend on the return journey?

Thanks
