Buying a Cessna 150 to build time
#21
I had a C172 for a while. When asked how much per hour it cost my reply was my first hour in a year costs about $8000 and my last about $40. This included heated hangar, insurance, annual, etc.

What does it mean when pilots say they would like to "split time"? I'm guessing one of the pilots is a CFI and the other gets dual? How else would you log meaningful/legal flight time with two pilots splitting costs? Also, would that look legitimate having received 300 hours of dual?
300 hours of dual in the same airplane would not look good at all unless it was student pilot => CPL. You can't just log unlimited dual just "because". There are many legit reasons for dual (refresher, BFR, IPC, club checkout, insurance checkout, aircraft fam, area fam, route fam, etc) but very few other than certs/ratings can justify much more than 10-20 hours at the most.
The only legal way to share and log unlimited amounts of time is hood/safety pilot. Even then the SP cannot log the entire flight (subtract taxi, T/O, LDG) and can never log XC.
