61 private – 141 for rest Can I save a few bucks not flying all with the school?
Asked by: Kyle Inbody 3542 views Commercial Pilot, Instrument Rating, Student Pilot
I'm enrolled to enter a fight school 141 rated in the fall. I have earned my private In a piper warrior this year at a part 61 school at my local airport. I know I need to do the rest if my training (dual) at the college. The problem being they fly all new planes. I will bring doing my training in Cessna 172's. My question. Can the college not grant me the 1000 hour ATP if I perform my cross countries for instrument/commercial in a non school owned aircraft. They only instruct in theirs but solos? The rental rate is $150 /hr then $50 for instruction. Another airport has a friend who owns an older Cessna 172, nothing fancy. Instrument rated. No hi tech GPS but personally I liked my map better. (The warrior had more advanced instruments) the cost is $85/hr. I was told by one of the owners friends we can buy block hours for cheaper, the airport gets little use by small planes and hardly rents. Plus I was told to offer to rent Dry for even less and top off the gas to avoid landing fees during cross counties. That could cut at $450 dollar flight into under $200! So my questions.
1. What's a good price to offer him to rent this 172 dry?
2. Can I still get a 1000 hr ATP as long as all training is done at school?
I will still use this Cessna for fun flying, $150 /hr is not in a college budget for fun flights or getting practice before school in the fall.
thanks for the help!.
