Hello everyone,my name is Pauly,I have a FAA ME CPL,IR rated.I need about 15 hours of multi engine time, Preferably a Seneca or whichever is in the" approved list of aircrafts" for dgca,I need almost 50 hours for time building in cessna 152 too,I am ready to come to any part of US for that ,I am mainly looking for a sunny location like florida or California..must be cheap too..please throw suggestions...
 
I rent my 150 for $40/hour dry. Probably not the cheapest in the nation but pretty affordable. I'm in north Idaho.
 
The cost of long range travel will almost definitely set you back more than you will save even if you find *THE* cheapest twin for 15 hours.


220-240 in Nebraska.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys,looking good..but i am looking for a flight school since DGCA will find it fishy if doing from individuals!!!:whatever:..keep shooting suggestions guys...this is the fastest response, i have got from a forum...

If you want suggestions I would tell you to do a little homework, call some reputable flight schools and talk with the chief pilot or a senior instructor. If you are able, talk to some of the students and you will get a good idea about the place. If you are making decisions strictly on the cost of rental, what you almost always end up with is poorly equipped aircraft, instructors who are unhappy (usually translates into poor quality instruction), and maintenance that is not top notch. Why put your certificates in jeopardy to save a couple hundred bucks on recurrent? Again, these are just my suggestions.
 
DGCA has some funny rules. The kind of plane you do your flight training has to be available or registered in India (else the hours do not count). Atleast, that's the way it was a few years back. I thought things might have changed by now - but I guess not.
