*sigh* there is always going to be that one person that will always try to flame, bash, or discredit another. YES i have 300 hours YES you have more hours and experience than me. However your thousands of hours do not reflect your maturity level so in the end I win.

Yes Miami has a TRACON and it sits on the field it's an ACTC/TRACON. I looked at my log book and yes it was an ASR approach. Thanks for correcting me on that but also thanks for being a jerk about it. The point of my post was that instead of putting around to build time i ventured out to get some great experience in a part 135 flight environment. So if i can use that experience to get a better job, GREAT

explain to me how your comment is relevant to present day flying if your airplane fails an engine every-time you fly there is seriously something wrong with 1) your aircraft 2) your decision making or 3) both

so you mean to tell me if a guy walks into an interview with 50ME it has to be 50 hours of battling critical engine failures. your an IDOT

thank you all for the positive advice

Thanks i will look there i also called up some local flight schools in the area to price the CFI program not expensive at all better off doing that then time building. To all the guys that gave me actual positive feedback thank you. To the flamers. I hope i don't run into people like you in my career

What sort of part 135 flight environment do you think you experienced? Really my friend there is lots of good advice to be had on this forum. But you really need to stop puffing out your chest with your 300 hours of flight time oh.. and what 210 ME... Galaxy Flyer probably has that many hours IN THE FLARE!!!!

BIG difference in a PAR and an ASR, just saying. A tad more humility and a willingness to listen will go along way in this business. Good luck.

I haven't had the opportunity to look it up without the airport ID either, but I was wondering the same thing

Hdark -

I think that I am one of those who actually gave you useful advice but I'm also one who is going to advise you to rein in The attitude a little bit. There is a ton of experience on this board and it is crazy of you to think that you can come on here and talk about your ton of multiengine time, quality Part 135 experience because you fly a x/c, saying that you have flown every approach known to man (except an RNAV), and get an ASR and PAR messed up and not expect to be called on it. Imagine a new Resident MD going onto a Surgeons form and laying out his experience on cadavers and getting some fairly basic medical terminology backwards and tell me that such a poster wouldn't get called on it.

Sit back, ask questions, and LISTEN to the advice given. It will do you good in all aviation endeavors (and life in general)

again my initial post was not to sound like i knew it all or have experienced it all and again i apologize if i sounded as such. The main reason i created an account on this forum was because of the vast knowledge available. I apologize again if i offended anyone but the bash the guy with the low time thing is kind of old.

I guess some of you forgot what it was like to have 0 flight time. you value every hour you can, and evaluate how much you learned in that hour. I flew right seat with guys that down right scared the crap out of me, the scary thing they had way more hours than I did so it's all relative. Hours are worth no more than the paper you write it on but what you experienced in those hours matter most

hdark-

Just adding to the advice from others-
You are off to a great start. I wish I could have had that much ME time that early on. I remember what it's like being in your shoes when every 100 hours seemed like a huge milestone, but as has already been started 300 hours is not enough. That doesn't mean you shouldn't apply. It just means that you probably won't hear back from employers. I personally wouldn't want a 300 hour pilot barreling down the ILS at 140 knots to minimums with an incapacitated captain as long as I'm on board. And I'm sure that any passenger would be alarmed to find out that the copilot has only logged 300 hours of "quality" flight time.
It sounds like you have planned to get your CFI, and I applaud that decision. Many great experiences await you as an instructor. Just remember that instruction is not a way to build time. Yes, that is one byproduct of instruction, but please pursue it with professionalism or your students will notice that you are just in it for the time.
Lastly, learn humility. The great folks on this site are here to answer questions and give advice. There is a lot of real life experience to learn from here. So don't be upset that everyone isn't patting you on the back and throwing job offers out at you.
Your time will come. Just keep logging those hours and sending out resumes.
Oh, and one last thing. Please work on your writing skills as communication is a big part of aviation. I blame all my typos and grammatical mistakes on my iPad. The iPad is making me dumber, what's your excuse?
Keep on keeping on and take the advice, both good and bad, in stride.
