Needed: Advice on Comm ME, SE and CFI ratings

Trust me on this one. Go to os aviation to get your se and multi comm. I just came back from there and I couldn't be happier with how things went. Good price, good training, decent plane, great instructor and owner. If you want more info feel free to send me a PM.


I'm glad you liked it there Pilot84. I also loved my experience with Oscar and Greg. They know what they are doing!

Jeremy, if you try them you won't regret.

Are they a finisher CPL course at os aviation. I can't ever tell by the hours....
 
It seems OS Aviation is the best deal for me on the Commercial. I am a bit cloudy on how one would get the Single and Multi commercial with them with the times they quote, so if someone could help me with that...
(How does one get a Comm SE/ME with only 15 hrs multi and 5 in a 172?)
Now if I could get the guy to call me back and answer that, I am on my way.

As far as the CFI stuff...Mike/Keebler: First thank you very much for your flattering complements. I am fairly confident I could get this done on my own too. The question mark is more on the matter of time than anything else.

See, I really need to leave my current job soon. It is way more than a full time job (Though I am always on JC! hehe) which does not afford enough time to dedicate to flying and studying. In order to leave my job, I must be able to complete my ratings in a given timeframe (I am hoping for 6 weeks) and have a CFI job, or my savings fund will start depleting.

I was thinking some sort of structured program would more guarantee this timeframe AND help ensure continuity on the knowledge as well.
Even though I got a 98 on the written, I failed my oral IFR because I recieved no ground instruction and glossed over a very important section of the knowledge during my self-study. Even though my flying received high praise from the examiner, and the rest of my knowledge as well, I don't want to ever think I missed something again.
 
Oh and AF may be out any way. It should not take three days, and counting, to get a response to an email inquiring about training.
 
Hey Load,
I went through AF a dozen years ago or so. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. In fact I think that they are a bunch of misleading crooks. Just my opinion. Good luck finishing up.
 
Good luck to you man. Where do you plan to instruct after you finish? And btw, the CSEL maneuvers (as you probably already know) should really only take you 10 hours to do. Lazy 8's are a challenge until you do them perfect for the first time. After that, you will have it.

Try to do all of the CSEL training in the exact same airplane. The reason....power-off 180. Once you are able to judge exactly what you have got to do to hit your spot, I wouldn't try switching up the plane to do the practice. I did, and looking back on it now...I wouldn't recommend it. I would have saved 3 or 4 hours if I would have just done everything in the same aircraft.
