I have a couple of questions, to start here an introduction i am a brand new ink style wet Com. Multi Instrument rated pilot. I am looking to build multi time. I am still in college so time is limited but i do have occasional time to go and fly outside of my flight block for school. (No i don't go to Riddle). On to the questions.

1. I have done a little research on a block hour program offer by Ari Ben(Flight Training - Multi Engine Time Building Programs - Aviator Flight Training College) and i have seen both good and bad but nothing really recent. I was thinking the 100hr program. Now i will be doing this with one of my good friends from school who is also Com. Multi Instrument rated so i assume that 50 hours would be actually PiC while the rest could be "safety pilot" time. according to the page a fuel surcharge is including in the price, now is that just local flights out of their base or if we take the plane and go cross country is our fuel covered?

2. Can we split the price of that 100hr block time price 50/50 or do we both have to purchase that 100hr block to be in the same aircraft.

3. Any info on this program is appreciated good or bad, We are both trying to build multi time and would like to fly coast to coast if at all possible.

4. If you guys don't recommend this place what are your recommendations? Florina and NH are where we are from so places in ether Florida or the Northeast work.

Thanks in advance,

I have no direct experience with Aviator but I can answer a few questions. The prices on their website are the spilt cost. So you and your friend would both have to pay. I do not know how they do fuel purchases but I would assume that it has a cap on how much per gallon they will pay you back for. Air America has 3 BE-76 that they rent for $195 wet but to make theirs economical you would want to come back to DAB for fuel because their site says they only pay you back up to around $2.70 gallon. But if you stayed close its a good deal.
