Here's the deal with my flight training scenario.
First off, I'm financing my training through SLM. I just got back from Paramount Flight and worked out the whole program for the 1st half of my loan with SLM. I excited about picking-up where I left off. I plan to go all the way to CFI, CFII, and MEI.
Here's the breakdown of the plan:
1) I only have 15 hours x-country time, so I need to start time building to meet Instrument Rating requirments. I'm going to log 30 hours of x-country time in the PA28, which will put me at 45 hours total x-country.
2) Once I'm at 45 hours total x-country time, I will start my Instrument training in the PA28.
3) Next up is the Multi-Engine rating (PA44). Shouldn't take more than 10 hours before I'm ready for the checkride.
4) After Multi rating, I will be time building again. I will log 15 hours in the Multi (PA44) and 6 hours in the Single (PA28).
So, starting off with 80 hours TT, I will have logged 182 TT/25 ME.
Next-up will be to finish time building, obtain my Commercial rating ASEL/AMEL, and then my CFI, CFII, MEI.
Can't wait to get started!!!
