Default Looking CPL accelerated training. Anywhere

Hey guys,

I have 400h TT, passed my PPL and my IR, and now I wanna get my CPL ASEL, but my school is killing me. They have one 182RG and is destroyed, down for maintenance all the time. They also have an Arrow, but it kinda sucks too.

So I'm looking for a reliable school, that will get me through the training fast, 7-10 days. I'm in Denver right now, and I'd rather drive to the "new" place (Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico...), but anywhere will do, as long as it's a decent place.

I need some 10h of complex, few hours of ground school, and a DPE for my checkride.

Some schools have a DPE on staff, which seems pretty convinient.

Any suggestions?

You are in Denver, which means there are probably plenty of places at the outlying fields to learn at. I have flown around there and know this is the case. You'd probably spend more time and hassle trying to get to a different state to "do it fast" than just doing it. Use the internetz and teh googles. One thing that is sometimes overlooked is "mastery of the aircraft". It can be a challenging thing for someone that's never flown that type before or doesn't have much experience/experience in it. I've seen more than one checkride end up bad because someone rushed into the entire process. This is important, it's going to the foundation for your career.

I got my EASA CPL 10 years ago, and I must have around 45h of complex. Not rushing things at all, it was just an expression of frustration with my situation.

I've flown Arrow and also 182RG, and I'd never overlooked any training. It took my a decade to have a second chance with aviation....so imagine if I respect and value this training

A friend of mine talks very highly of Livingston Aviation in Waterloo, IA. After I complete my IFR, I'll be heading there for Comm/CFI.
