Don't fly at Horizon, Thanks...

RyM45 10-10-2008 02:54 PM

Why not? Is there something bad about them?

I instructed there. I'm not going to post what I think of them cause I'd probably get sued. You'd be better off at king in mansfield or alpha one in plymouth. Those are both alot cheaper than horizon as well

Alright thanks, I'll check the one in mansfield out.

Cheapest way is to buy yourself an IFR C-172, or even a C150/152 and fly the snott out of it getting your ticket and instrument rating... you can even do the commercial in it, but for the checkride you'll have to go back, swap into something like an arrow and demonstrate the complex portions of the exam... still way way cheaper than renting at a flight school, so long as you go after the tickets with resolve, get it done, and then sell the plane. You'll be out the insurance costs, tiedown fees, and fuel costs. If you do it all quickly enough you won't even have to pop for an annual.

That is the cheapest way....

I agree. RyM45, don't feel like you need an aviation college degree to get a pilot job. Keep your options open and find the route that works best for you.
