Hello,

I'm a CFI in Minneapolis, MN, and I'm trying to evaluate multi-engine training and time building. I'd appreciate your help on this topic because it seems like there are many options, but not many great options. I'd like to get my MEI in my area if possible.

I've made an online survey trying to pin-point a few key factors, it's 10 questions (no IP tracking).

It's simple: until you have the minimums to get hired at your target airline or corporate operation, or other company, you look at everything and every purchase in terms of multi-engine time. A bag of groceries? That's one fourth of an hour of twin time....
The biggest costs are in money and commitment, which you will truly need if you are not financially independent.
If you do not have a marketable skill or ability, or a degree as a fallback, do not go to the airlines. they are far too insecure and cyclical.

I'm a cfi in msp, pm if you wish...

So far, 19 people have taken the survey. I'll list the majority results below.

Q1: 62% interested in building ME time
Q2: 68% looking to build ME time
Q3: 61% would use a flight school for the airplane
Q4: 94% said price really matters, 74% say airplane complexity does not matter, 62% say instruction really matters, 47% say scheduling really matters
Q5: Time is the biggest constraint to building ME time
Q6: Most people pay between $201-$250/hr
Q7: Most people pay between $30-$40 for instruction
Q8: 63% say they would travel out of state for cheaper ME time
Q9: 63% say safety pilot time sharing is a great idea.

Do you think it matters to a recruiter how much multi dual received you have as opposed to solo multi or safety pilot?
