Oh wow. Someone jump up and help this guy. Talk about paying your due's. Someone get me this guy as my CFI. If we all thought like this, aviation would be, well, what it has become today.
As for me being what is wrong with aviation today. That kind of sounds like a personal insult. Was that what it was meant to be? |

Lots of positives to that. -mini I don't disagree with it either. But using a students checkbook to pad your logbook is just wrong. I am not here to rope people for money. I am here to teach, learn, and make a pay check. It just burns my butt when people are just in the coockpit with a student to get their hours. |

I met one of these guys today up in Bishop (KBIH). He is Korean, part of the KAL training program. He is up to 450 TT. He was put in an Ameriflight BE-99 at 250 hours. Somebody explain to me how that works. He doesn't even have enough time to be 135 VFR.

He wasn't flying by himself. The foreign guys who come in and sit SIC are doing it through a pay-for-training program. They have their jobs lined up in their home country once they reach a certain hourly requirement. (For KAL the students need to get 1000 hours TT)
In the case of KAL they pay for the students training and give a per-diem and living allowance, which the student then has to repay once flying the line for KAL. The students are on a 10 year contract. Ameriflight and a lot of 135 operators participate in this program, and in our ops specs it allows for us to have FOs in all our aircraft. |
500 hours minimum
100 hours cross country and 25 hours of that has to be night cross country |

I am actually really surprised that some of these comments were brought up, I am guessing some of you guys are fairly new at this, as these are not very complicated issues. As for a good CFI "caring soley about his/her student" it is a delicate balance, of what you need and what you can help them with along the way. No, there is NO delicate balance as you suggest. No, a good CFI does not plan the student's lesson based on the need of the CFI's time building and experience requirements.....NOT AT ALL. Be a professional and do your job. The student pays you to do a job. He does not to pay you to build time. What is this world coming to?! |

So what is wrong with getting something for yourself in exchange for giving instruction.

I couldn't imagine going 50 miles on each training flight, and I fly a 150 knot "primary trainer..." Plus, the examiner isn't going to give the student 50 miles worth of time to set up between approaches, so you're just setting the guy up for failure as you're raping his wallet. :eek: |
I have a quick question...... So all of the IFR training I did where I flew to other airports to shoot approaches.... Would that count towards P135 XC requirements even though I did not land? Just performing Missed and then returning back to original point of Origin? Wouldn't this be just like the Bomber Issue? I am guessing not... It Does require a Landing Correct for Part 135...
Since I am a fairly new , and not quite sure the direction I am going......I am trying to structure my log book to satisfy both the 135 and ATP Requirements so that it is done no matter which route I end up... |
