Default Multi engine add on - anywhere in the USA

Hey guys/gals,

I have an opportunity to get into a twin aircraft and need to knockout my Multi engine add on quickly. I am willing to travel anywhere in the US.

My situation is short notice so looking for a training school that can take me in in the next two weeks.

If you know of any reputable operations that have the DPE on site and can get me in for $4,500 or less, please shoot me a name or link to the school.

Thanks in advance.

Fly by Knight in Hammond, LA.
2 weeks might be a push though. Their DPE is the airport manager, so very good availability. But the plane is busy. Just like every other ME in the country...

I recommend Aero-Sphere in Longmont (close to Denver).
Shane (owner) is the man. His BE76 is a great and well maintained trainer.
I did my training in only 3 days and passed commercial checkride on day 4.
Fair rates and quality instruction. I do not regret.

Have they actually refurbished that plane? 19U used to be a deathtrap when it was in Florida.

Yes, Shane refurbished 19U. It is a nice plane now!
He showed me the photos when he bought it in Florida. The plane was horrible. It was a miracle he could ferry it to Colorado. He put too much money on it, so the eagle was born again. He keeps maintenance on high level even charging low rate for rental.

I'm glad to hear that! It was a piece of crap back then. I'm glad he's taking good care of it.

I had a student that got his multi add-on in a week and half.but we flew everyday, and twice in one day atimes. Wouldn't recommend using that approach.but it's doable.
