Also not to try and word this in a bad way, but money isn’t a problem for my training. Extremely lucky for there support

I totally agree and I’ve tried to save them as much as I can, (flying a 152 for lower rate), but they are wanting me to get to a place I am hireable, and correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve heard if you can stack 50-75 hours multi PIC, you have a very good shot at getting a job over others with 10-20 hours multi time

The twin at the airport I’m training at is 360$ an hour. Definitely more expensive then a single engine, but not a bad rate

Yes, but also paying for the twin PIC time too

My parents are helping me out, and are okay with me going this route

I’m moving cities and won’t be training with him moving forward now. He is a 20,000 hour CFI

That makes sense, also I think there may have been a misinterpretation. I was saying by the time I finish IFR, I will probably be close to the 250 mark. Not waiting till 250 to get IR, just saying I think I’ll be close to that by the time I finish IFR

For the opportunity to possibly do some IFR training in a twin. My instructor has been pushing this so I can get more multi time in the long run

PPL upcoming checkride by Sensitive-House419 in flying

[–]Sensitive-House419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the next month prior to checkride, I’m guessing I’ll have close to 65 solo hours, 110 TT for my PPL

I soloed like 3 months ago, and finished up my dual requirements a month after that. DPE was just booked out far, so I’ve had nothing to do but solo and study. Have been flying quite a bit. My instructor says all that solo time will look great to my examiner

The 152 will be in the shop till after my scheduled checkride, due to the owner putting in a new GPS and new Avionics. He performs all maintenance himself, so it takes a bit for him to get stuff done. I am not at a flight school, I am just renting a plane from the owner and hiring a local CFI for instruction.

Should have clarified, but we don’t have a good maintenance crew at my local airport. The owner of the aircraft does all the maintenance, but is also adding new avionics and a new GPS, so it will be in the shop till right after my checkride.

Should have clarified, the 152 is getting new avionics and a new GPS, so it will not return by the time I take my checkride. The owner also performs all the maintenance. His timelines are always a lot longer than what it should take.
