Single and Multi Engine Instrument and Commercial Pilot Course #3: $21,900.00
This is our "deluxe" package which includes 150 hours multi-engine flight time and a total of 161 hours of retractable gear experience. It includes 78 hours Cessna 150, 11 hours Piper Arrow, 150 hours Piper Apache and 16 hours ATC 610 procedures trainer. This package also includes 132 hours of instructor time (approximately 86 hours flight, 16 hours flight training device and 30 hours ground instruction). 110 hours of multi engine flight time will be enhanced instrument training and shared flight time: You will fly with another pilot, and one of you will wear a hood and practice instrument procedures, while the other pilot acts as safety pilot. Under this arrangement the FAA allows both pilots to log the flight time. Due to insurance requirements an instructor will be on board on these flights. He will ride in the back seat and act as coach. You will receive enhanced instrument instruction above and beyond the requirements for the instrument rating. A multi-engine mountain flying checkout to Colorado or New Mexico is included. We can also fly a long multi-engine cross country trip lasting several days to a tourist attraction such as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone or Niagara Falls. There will be a fuel surcharge of about $20.00 per hour (shared by both pilots) on long cross country trips in the Apache, since fuel prices away from our home base are considerably higher than our bulk fuel costs at home. Any hotel, restaurant and rental car costs will be additional.
