Splitting hood time?
 

I'm at the point where I need X-C sim inst time!! I have been doing some solo X-C, but I need hood time, does anybody else in the NW ATL area need the same? If so, hit me up. we can split a long X-C and get some good PIC time. you do hood one way, I'll do hood the other way. :)

I know you have to sign up for this site, I'm a member myself, but right now there's 3 members out of atlanta. It's safetypilotclub.com So far I've had 2 people off it ride with me when I used to fly C-310's for a 135 company. It's still in it's infancy, but it could or could not take off. Right now it's $14.95 for a lifetime membership. Good luck on finding someone.

wow, thanks!! I am going to check it out!! it's amazing how hard it is to find a safety pilot. you would think that other pilots would jump at the opportunity to get PIC time at 50% the cost, but alas, 'tis not the case apparently.

I am looking to build pic x-country time as well and paying half the cost. I was wondering what the limit is (if any) of logging saftey pilot time. I believe I have heard it is 50 hours. If there is a limit, should you save it for when you are doing ME time building since it is so expensive? Is there any reason not to find a pilot friend and fly the pilot/safety pilot routine in building time?

I really don't want to pay as much as I am for my flight training if I don't have to.

Thanks... and happy holidays :)

There is no FAA limit. And some point, I think, it makes you look like you're just padding your logbook. Also, from personal experience, I think you reach a plateau where you benefit from this sort of time at between 25 and 50 hours. Again, there is no FAA limit.

Think about doing it at night, as well. That way you get great experience of night x-county instrument. Building night time is good for Part 135 mins, too.
