Multi Engine Rating..
 

hey aviators.
I was wondering if anyone would know any place around Atlanta area where i can do my multi engine rating for cheap.
Cheapest i found was 3000 (10 hours flight time) for part 61 and 5000 for part 141 (15 hours flight time) at Fulton Aviation out of FTY

Please let me know if you guys know anywhere cheaper/better

There is Multi-engine training down in Dallas texas, they have a ad in the back of Flight Training for $1400. After the hotel, travel and food you will be in the $2000 range. 4 hours of multi time in some junk twins that leak oil everywhere and then the lamest checkride you will ever take will get you a Crackerjack multi engine ticket. How that DPE sleeps at night is beyond me.

I went there and felt it was a big mistake on my part, rushed training that is purely rote learning. (i.e. Someone tells you "Your router runs on EIGRP." You say "My router runs on EIEI-O.") They lecture you if you go beyond the rote learning during the practice oral. The DPE follows the question book you get almost word for word.

Anyhow, it is a option.

The guy who does DC-3 types also does multi engine training. He's in the Atlanta area, he charges $2,600 I believe. Google Herpa Dc-3 and you'll find his website. He's a 777 Captain I believe.

Couple of years ago the cheapest ME ticket was at Flight School of Gwinnett. I cannot endorse that, just telling you it was the cheapest rate a few years back.

I did mine through AllATPs in Atlanta a few years back. It was tad more expensive, about 3 grand for ten flight hours. There is a lot of merit to their way of doing the rating, which is they teach to the test. Receiving a series of goal-focused lessons followed by a flight exam makes you very serious about passing it, and it can end up being as cost-effective even though the per-hour cost is not as good. I have seen quite a few students rent cheaper multiengine airplanes, only to lose the savings by spreading out the lessons and need more training as a result.

housing is not going to be a problem, 1400 is not bad, but i don't think i really want to do some training that kind of airplane. i couldn't stop laughing after thinking about it.

I think i found it, not sure how to contact him, there is no Tel # nor his email address listed.....ill keep searching for his number.

Thanks jsf

I have his contact info, PM me & I'll email his info to you. I want to go get my multi with him because I'd like to go back and get my DC-3 type with him.

PM sent :)

Thanks

i have been told by few AllATP students that not to go there because their fail ratio is high

Fulton Aviation is the least expensive
 

Fulton aviation has a Seneca for $100 per hour dry. You buy your own gas and you will be flying for under 200 per hour, plus the instructor. Time to complete depends entirely on how well you are prepared, and how current and proficient you are.

a side question for everyone......how about a ME rating thats cheap and can do it under 10 days. I'm helping a friend find a school.

If you went to Tech, you can join the Yellow Jacket Flying club, they have a piper aztec they'll rent you for $170/hr wet. I'm not sure if they'll let non-student/non-alums join.
