Cheapest Multi Time Atlanta
Those of you that fly/train around Atlanta, what's the cheapest multi rental you've found? I've checked several places and the cheapest I've found so far is about $280 an hour or so for a Dutchess at PDK. It was cheaper but he went up over the phone on me saying the site hasn't been updated in awhile.

Thats the cheapest I know of. Most twins are $300-$400hr in ATL area. I'm a Georgia native and it honestly ticks me off at the prices schools are charging for any airplane! Most decent steam gauge singles are close to $225/hr with an instructor. Almost all the places around also make you deposit $1500-$3000 to get that price. Unfortunately its cheaper to go to other states for training.
If someone had a decent Apache going for $200/hr in 10hr blocks they'd literally put 30-40 hrs a week on it no sweat in ATL! |
If you want multi time take a week off and get a 50 hr pack in Texas or Florida. Fly day, night XC and approaches.
Just did a Google search on multi engine building Florida so I don't know these guys: http://www.firstlandings.com/multi-engine-time-building/ |

I am bout to start my multi in an OLD Apache with I'm pretty sure is the original panel in it. $250 an hour, 45 an hour for the instructor. Not to bad of a deal I think.

Yes it's is.
You're paying for a death trap and unless (s)he's self employed a good MEI should be costing you more. |
