what ever it takes,Some schools advertise courses with 10 hours, some with as low as 6. So what is the average training time for a private pilot to complete a multi initial?
thanks
Thanks for the reply guys, I'm planning to go commercial some day, with IR. But I want to do the multi initial on the private first as a personal preference. I have 200 hours and I plan to do a few dual "warm up" hours in a C172 RG before I hit the duchess at my school.Why are you planning to get a private multi? Unless you already have an instrument rating and you don't plan on a commercial. Many schools offer an initial commercial AMEL course and it's alluring, but financially it doesn't make sense. Not to mention the idea of transitioning from a 152 or 172 directly into a seminole or a dutchess is going to be very difficult.
Personally, I would wait for the instrument and commercial single before I went with a Multi. It would be nice to have a little transition from the basic trainers to a Piper Arrow, or a 182 RG, something that moves a little faster, but the change is gradual. Not to mention the fact that you would have many more hours of experience.

I would say I average around 10 hours to get a student done. I have never understood how some of these "programs" claim 6 hours for the rating.
