I'm looking to get my CFI and possibly II if I have time. I'm going to try to get my employer to pay for part of it so I'd like to get a good idea of the rough cost. Here's what I'm looking at:
Instruction would be with a local CFI at going rates. How many hours does it typically take on the ground?
Plane would be an older Arrow, not sure about the cost (I think it's around 160ish/hour). I'm guessing maybe 10-12 hours in the plane. Does that sound right?
Other fees I guess would be to take my FOI/CFI-A written exam plus the software, and then the examiner fee. It's been about 7 years since I've gotten a rating in the US so I'm a little out of the loop.
One other question: I have an electronic logbook and will be printing that out for the DE. However, my original, paper logbook (that only has my first 250 or so hours) with all my endorsements, etc., are in Indonesia (where I normally live) and I probably wouldn't be able to get that for the check ride. Will that be a problem for the DE, not being able to see the signed endorsements, or will my logbook printed out from LogTen Pro be enough? I'll be in the US for another month or two before returning to Indonesia where I live and work.
Thanks for the help.
