Heard lots of good about Traverse City Michigan Air Plane Flight Training - Traverse Air Inc. Aviation Traverse City, Michigan

I'll more than likely be going there myself when the time comes.

Ha

No such thing

Unless you go with an old guy and his own Apache you’re not going to find anything cheap.
Flightschool wise that is. Getting and keeping a ME insured for instruction is $$$$....plus it’s twice as expensive to maintain.
A “cheap” ME is a red flag.

I'll second this, I'm planning on getting my multi at Traverse Air this summer or fall.

Thanks for the feedback. The flight school that i work for offered a technam p2006 @ 200 an hour wet. So i may go that route

I don’t like that plane.
My opinion which accounts for absolutely nothing:
Aztec, Seneca, Seminole in that order.
Aztec en Seneca are “real” planes that’s are also flown outside of the training environment.
Seminole....meh...but loads of places have them so could come in handy for your MEI.

Agree. It sort of reminds me of the twin Aeronca that Aeronca came out with in the 60s. The name, IIRC, was the Lancer. That one was two-place and had fixed gear, fixed props, and dual Continental 100 hp engines. It was designed for no other reason than to provide Cheap ME ratings but was so pathetic that the FAA eventually decided that ME ratings granted in the aircraft would be valid only in that type.

SE service ceiling was advertised at 2200 feet at standard temperature and pressure. On a warm day in the Midwest you would LOSE about 250FPM in straight and level flight due to the windmilling and non-feathering propellor. They only made about three or four dozen of them.

I'll third the Traverse City outfit and also throw in Great Lakes Air Ventures out of Mason, MI.

Multi add-ons in a Baron. Two days, $3600 including checkride fee and instructor in Greensboro NC

Msg me for information... (I got my CMEL this way, instructor is the guy who taught me to fly to begin with - Plane is owned by the local DPE)
