Hey guys i just got my CSEL and CFI add ons done. So now i have CMEL, CSEL, MEI, and CFI. I'm starting work on my CFII at this time now. Also i will start teaching at the flight school shortly. Next summer i really want to get a float plane rating. I have a couple of questions.
1)What do i do to get a sea plane rating at a commercial and CFI level? do i have to do all the steps (ie take a SES private, then a CSES, then a CFI)?
2)Is it even worth it to get a sea rating? Does it look good on an application? I know this is a loaded question because it depends on what you want to do with it. I was just wondering what people thought. Do the airlines care about glider, rotorcraft, airship, or sea ratings?
I live near BZN and was wondering if any one knew of people who do sea rating training.
The other thing i thought about doing next summer would be a tail wheel endorsement. I would love to teach in a tail wheel but i think you need over 100 hours to teach in one for the insurance.
Last thing i thought about was multi time. i have 75 hours of multi time in a
DA-42 Twinstar. I was thinking about getting that magic 100 hours of multi in either the twin-star or in a conventional twin over next summer. With the recent Theilert debacle i don't think i'll be training too much in the Twinstar. Our 42 is close to 300 hour and they are not going to replace the gear boxes. they are just gonna wait for the Lycoming's. This would probably be the most expensive option but probably the most beneficial.
any way i guess i was just wondering if there is any other rating I should get to help me out in the long run besides the CFII and ATP. I've heard that it's a great idea to get as many ratings as possible and i've also heard that some of them really don't help you out, job wise, all that much.
thanks
