Hey Everyone,
First time poster, long-time reader. I'm looking for advice on a plan I've worked up for a career change. Ultimately, my goal is to fly passengers or cargo, however, I was devastated by the new 1500 hr ATP rule. I can understand raising the bar from 250 hrs, but 6x the previous?
Regardless, below is a plan I've worked up to quickly acquire hours. Let me know your criticism and if I'm way off from reality. (Example, far too much time weighted on one airframe, etc). Currently, I have 5 hours under instruction for PPL. Haha
150, VFR, IFR, ME, Commercial Training (under instruction)
100-300, CFI
100, ME PIC XC IFR
1000 hr, purchase Cessna 152 or Piper Cherokee for time building, mostly IFR XC.(I understand the financial implications of aircraft ownership)
From what I've researched, this plan is the best balance of training, quick time building and limiting financial impact.
Thanks
