Multi time building lead needed! Help!
I need to build some multi time. I'm looking to split time in affordable acft such as Seminole, Dutchess, Comanchee etc.
I prefer California and perhaps west coast. Please share if you know a good place and price for a multi time build around this area.
Thanks

We've got a Duchess for $285/hour wet but we're in western PA just north of Pittsburgh. www.facebook.com/acesbvi

I'm in the same boat, just picked up my ME ATP in a Seminole, but only have 8 hrs ME and some C-130 sim time. Military helo and flight school IP so have the TT and FW hours but need the 100 ME. Can anyone comment on experiences with Ari-Ben, Herb Pello, Skymates, Sheebles as reputable flight schools for ME time?

Another place is Great Lakes Air Venture but they are usually swamped from what I have heard. Last time I checked you could get their twin for $165hr wet if bought over 40 hours. Thats total not per pilot so its a good deal.

I did the same in 2006. Piper Aztec for $165/hour (wet). Two major things have happened in those 6 years. One fuel; use to be $3/gal back then if not less. I think I use to have it listed at the FBO for $2.85 most of that year. It's now up to $6.25/gal. The other major factor is the days of the $1million/$100K insurance policy for a flight school are going away. You can still get them but the insurance company starts becoming the director of operations. We have to carry a $5million/$500K policy for all of our aircraft. There's the two reasons I have for prices going so high; gas and insurance.
