However, for those who think the FBO route is always cheaper and better, i have to disagree. I did my pp at the FBO that i worked at and was incredibly disappointed. I had 4 different instructors who taught me a different way every time. I was constantly cancelled on for no real reason and the aircraft were ALWAYS down for mx. It took me over a year and a half and about 12 g's for me to get my license. Im sure this is not always the case and not even the norm, but WMU has been more cost effective for me. As long as you fly all the time and study hard, you can be near the minimums.
i hate to make this a "WMU" thread but you have to understand that it could very well take you over a year and a half to get any of your other ratings as well. and the way cfi's are being hired at airlines, you could very well have 4+ instructors at western like i did. you have to fly with a new instructor 3 times before they can sign you off for anything. you wanna talk about cost effectiveness??? try getting a new instructor right before your multi ride.... |
You have a valid point about the instructors leaving, i still think that with the standardization, I will be better off if and when that time comes. And i might just be lucky, but i have gotten through half of my instrument course in less than a month. Anyway, my questions about glass have been answered and i appreciate the advice everybody.

Trust me, with the newly announced benefits we're getting, CFI's will be staying around a lot longer...

Yeah, they don't like it much, although they say they want us to get real jobs (since that is supposed to be the goal, after all...)

Or in the case of the JungleJet, it is well-known that BM - Brazilian Magic makes the Airplane fly! And btw, "smoke and mirrors" worked just fine on my Oral LoL
|
what does WMU charge on those cirrus??
|
$151.12/hour, as of today.
|
And how much for the Intructor?? That's an easy way to tag on addt'l chunk of cash.
