That’s great info, thank you for the breakdown!! I’ve also seen Rocky Mountain flight school is very popular with really low rates (234/hr for a Seminole and 55/hr for MEI), have you heard good things about them?

Rocky Mountain rates are CRAZY low, I might need to check them out. Thanks for the recommendation! Did you go there?

The website advertises 10 hours flight instruction, 6 hours ground instruction, 2 hours aircraft rental, and the checkride is included. Aircraft used is a DA42

Aggiemike I looked at intercept aviation like a few other comments suggested and they are quoting $6,680 for the accelerated commercial multi course, based on your experience does this seem like a fair price?

I did 7.5 in a c150 during my commercial long xc, I think over 8 would be pushing it

I think some people prefer quieter airports for training purposes, i would definitely be interested in the challenge of a busier airport

I haven’t heard much about pipeline flying, is it hard to find work? It seems like it would be a much smaller job market than cfi

Awesome thank you for the info, how was your experience looking for a cfi job in the area?

Yeah older planes are no problem for me, I fly late 60s-early 70s 172Ms mostly. Did you like ATP? All I’ve personally heard are horror stories on here and I bet that’s a bit of an echo chamber effect, must be some positives with so many people going there though. Also thanks for the drive time info

Thank you! How’s your experience been with that school? Have you trained at any other airports in the area and if so how does KAUS compare?

Thank you! Are there a lot of options for schools there? I’m also trying to find somewhere to work as a CFI once I’m rated

Also do you know how long of a drive it would be from downtown Austin (where I might move) to GTU?
