s***posting with decency. trolling with integrity.
As I get closer to getting done with the Instrument Rating, I am looking at the commercial and the CFI ticket. I have no desire to go on to the airlines, but would be interested in charter, corp jobs and instructing in the future.
Plane rentals and instructors are hard to come by around here. Either a 60 mile drive to KFAR for a 140 (130 if you're in the club!) bucks an hour 172. I currently drive 40 miles (each way) to rent a 172 which is in a very rough shape. Of late I've been plagued with engine troubles on the plane.
So, I am thinking of buying a Piper or Cessna of some kind to finish up my commercial and CFI in. Then start instructing in it.
Question for the folks who own and use their planes for instruction and rentals: What has your experience been doing this? Insurance? Maintenance?
