The advice I can give you (the original poster) when looking for rates on a Seminole or any other aircraft for that matter from a flight school, be very careful and MAKE SURE you ask them: 1. Are there any other BS surcharges that they don;t tell you about? (i.e fuel, insurance etc) 2. Are taxes inc...

Hello, I;ve done a search on this forum to gather all the latest info about SkyLink to an extent. What I am looking for at this point is current info as far as wages for the 1900 Capt/FOs, vacation, benefits and scheduling? Someone that currently works there and is willing to share some info would b...

I am using Logbook Pro. I bought it for about 90 bucks 2 years ago. It has all the bells and whistles and you can easily find out what your flight time is for any given period of time. There is an app for the iphone and you can sync it from time to time with your PC version. Print out a paper versio...

Another attempt by a scummy flight school to suck in students paying outrageous amounts of money for so called "operational" flying. What part of this is operational if you pay $800/hr to fly around circles in a Navajo? Are they going to fly their clients from point A to B with someone sitting in th...

The instructor rating is a tonne of work but its all worth it once you;re done. I;ve just done mine in the spring, and I would recommmend it to anybody. You'll be extremely busy making up your own lesson plans, airnotes, learning new and proper terminology and ways to teach it. Lots of things will m...

Thanks mcrit The famous saying: Its not what you know, its WHO you know! And of course, I'm not expecting an airline job right away, not even close, years and years down the road. You get alot of PIC time as an instructor, which is nice to have I guess, but wouldn;t the best and most valuable experi...

Doc: I knew I would get that response when I threw in the fact that the airlines might be a future goal down the road.... The fact is, I started flying because I loved it, love it everytime I go up there, its fun and it would be the best job in the world. Why is it that everytime the word "instructi...

I am currently in a 100hr + stage of my training, and I am torn between the instructor route or the "go up north and get a job" route. I would love to teach other people how to fly, read alot of post with the good and bad about instructing, so I am aware of that. On the other hand I think going up n...

Thanks for the info. I have just received some more info from perimeter, a closer estimate of the cost for the Multi/IFR. Its gonna cost just under 10K, which includes 25hrs on the BE95, 22hrs on the sim, GPS ground school, briefings, books, Flight test and examiner fee. The school I'm currently goi...

I have been looking into different schools to do my Multi/IFR rating, and Perimeter seems like a decent choice. Have any of you been to the school/ going there right now? Is the cost they are advertising accurate? What appeals to me most is the fact that the planes are equipped to fly in actual icin...
