Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'd like to find a place where I can take an aircraft out with only a checkout and not all these insurance requirements. I can go anywhere that Alaska or Horizon airlines flies to pick-up the airplane.
X2, this sounds like your best bet to have access to a twin for your own personal use.my input? get your MEI. Then get hired on part time at an FBO, book no students, and go out in the multi all the time.
:yeahthat:I would get your MEI. It looks good on the resume and helped me land a job. And much better experience teaching multi than time building for fun.
Are there any owners near you with twins? Maybe a non-equity partnership would work out for you. Find someone who would like to share the cost of owning. They get a little extra cash which helps them, you get the twin time that you want!Yeah I am having a hard time finding a part time instructing job while I already have a full time job.
Yeah we have very strict insurance requirements these days. If you do find a place with low requirements then they probably dont have insurance, and if damage the plane you're gonna pay for it.Check with Skymates, see what they can do for you.

Right now I just moved back to the Seattle area and my girlfriend is soon to be furloughed so we don't have the extra cash to jump into an airplane. Luckly she has friends that have a Seneca that I might be able to borrow for a few trips with the familyAre there any owners near you with twins?

I am a member at BEFA but the problem is they are getting ready to sell the dutch so it wouldn't give me much time to build time. Also Crest was the first place I looked at because I knew they have a travel air and that is what I got my CMEL when I was teaching at the college. Unfortunately they need 25 ME and I only have 12Are you eligible for the Boeing Flying Club. They have a twin in Renton. Crest Airpark used to have a Travelair, with low requirements. It has been about 5 years since I have been there.
I looked on their website and was about to call but I had to run. I'll try them tomorrow if my other deal falls through.If you want to stay in the Northwest, I know that the Aurora Aviation (KUAO, about 10 minute from portland) will let you take the Seminole after a brief checkout. I think I did 1.5 hours with an instructor, and just spoke with the owner for a few minutes, then home free!
Unfortunately, the insurance companies do run this show. Very few places have mins below 350TT/50 Multi. Most are 500TT, 100 Multi with 25 in type.
I will also recommend getting your MEI. You will learn a lot in the process, and its certainly a resume builder.
