Need help..
I am looking for cheap multi time in Florida. I am aware there are a few websites out there that collect the rental rates but I think they are all pay for info sites. Does anyone have to capability to search for cheapest multi time in FL and email it to me? I'll think of some way to make it up to you...
Also, I've seen where some people will split block multi-time. Is that in order to take advantage of cheaper block rates?
Thanks,
Forest

Howver, usually when people share multi time they are BOTH in the airplane, one "under the hood" and the other as "safety pilot". This is a legal way for both pilots to log the ME PIC time, but airlines may not view it as favorably as real ME time...depends on the company.
I had about 100 hours of shared ME time, but I also hade several hundred as an MEI before I got an airline job, so I don't know how it would have gone if I had only the safety pilot time.
Safety Pilot hints:
1) Read the applicable FARs
2) The safety pilot on a leg needs to leg about 0.3 LESS than the pilot to account for taxi/TO/landing, which is not done under the hood.
3) If the pilot logs any actual, the safety pilot also needs to subtract that time from what he logs, since a safety pilot is not a required crewmember in IMC, therefore no PIC. Obviously a flight in extended IMC will defeat the purpose here...
