How much BS do you want to put up with??
Flyright...she will probably make you quit flying or slap you
CFC...they have a Seminole that they bought from FlyRight, that would be a good choice or SATC
FlyRight may offer more flexibility such as schedulle etc.
Good Luck

Calgary Flying Club's Seminole is really well equipped and their class 1 instructors are tops in my book, if you can get time with them... Plus after you have done it all, they will let you rent the Twin for Day Multi Pic if you want to build some time. And yes when you rent it, you are on your own, no Instructor in the seat next to you to pay for..

The down side is they are really busy.. But then I did my Multi/IFR 3 years ago..

My $.02

My understanding was that they're leasing the airplane from FlyRight and she comes with it; certainly worth investigating before you commit yourself.

CFC's Seminole is kaput AFAIK, and they are planning on getting a DA42 (which will of course be at the same rate as the Seminole because of the $8/hr aircraft replacement fund they've been charging). :roll:

I would not give Fly Right the time of day. Mrs. Hitler runs that place.

I would try SATC...

Very old Info

Yes CFC's Seminole went "kaput", Yes they were planning to buy a 42. The Da42 deal was a scheme by a few on the board to boost their own company plans. The members got upset and the deal was cancelled.

CFC bought FR's Seminole, FR still has access to the airplane. You don't have to fly with "D" if you want to fly CFC's Seminole, you can fly with a CFC instructor.

Not sure if you can still take it solo.
