I also have been studying for the initial on my own time. Mainly to cut the cost down. But, I thought that I read in the FAR's that the initial must have 40 hours of ground instruction and the add on must have at least 25 hours instruction. It was from the '08 FAR/AIM, and I can't find it in '09; did it change? Or am I off my rocker? A friend of mine told me that the initial could be done for under a grand, is that doable with self study alone? Also, what do you guys think about the CFII as the initial and the single as the add on? It seems that if I am going to have to pay for 40 hours of instructing, I'd rather it be on instrument material.
The FARs is my weak point because it's mainly lawyer jargon but I never heard of that. I'd like to think that you are off your rocker. I'm in for a big surprise if this is so. Come on, where is the pilot bail out plan! :laff: Can't the FAA cut back on some of these rules because of economic pressures? No more gray lines (holding out) for the commercial pilot.
