If I recall correctly, I think if you buy X amount of hours, you actually fly X/2 under the hood with, with the other part being safety pilot time. If that concerns you as far as getting a job, read some of the many posts regarding multi-engine time building. It has been long (and hotly) debated as to the worth of safety pilot time as far as getting a job.
The debate isn't about if you can "legally" log PIC as safety pilot (you can) but is it useful to help you land a job. Again, the topic has been flogged to death several time. The short answer? It depends :) But more to your original question, I have eyed that place. I like that they have a more diverse fleet of senecas - a bit more "real" twin than the trainer seminole. I even think a few might be certified for known ice, although being in florida that's not much of an issue. |
Do not I repeat do not use this company. Go to Ari Ben if you need some multi time.

Thanks for the advice!

I went to Ari Ben probably 12 years ago. The planes were okay. They wanted the time builders to fly at night but we knocked out the hours quick. I got my MEI there and they stuck me with a lot of wet tickets breaking them in. Flew all over Florida at night, 4+ hours a night. Knocked out the multi time quick though. Never really had any mx issues or anything. The Dutchess was a nice flying plane. Not sure if times have changed over there. It got me the 100 hours I needed to get on my schools insurance to teach in our twin.

As far as getting a job "paying to play" isn't near as good as getting legitimate PIC time like Amerifilight, or other 135 operators. Truthfully it just depends on the hiring need of the company and the other people they have interviewing. |

It's the lesser of two evils lol. The place he listed uses an MEI in the back seat and logs the time and half the planes on their website are not even theirs.
Anyone care to chime in about an MEI logging time from the backseat while someone is already logging PIC and someone logging PIC safety pilot time??? That just does not sound right..... |
