Hey Guys... How Would I finish 250 hrs total time with 20 multi-engine and relevant exams in 9 months time. Please give me some advice like How to Fly i mean in a week How many days and How Long do I study for Theory exams. I would really appreaicate ur help. Thanks in advance.

You really have your work cut out for you to finish all of that in 9 months (assuming you currently have 0 hours). I knew a guy who did exactly what you're talking about but he did it in 11 months.

To even come close to making it work (and it is possible) you would have to turn your flight training into your full time career. Fly 1-2 times a day and study everynight.

Just pray for good weather

It will take longer based on the delays you will find getting rides done, and exams. As for studying, I know people that studied constantly and others that partied constantly they both have CPL, ME IFRs now.

[Wadd]

you're gonna have to work your arse off now more then anything, because come oct/nov/dec you're going to get a lot of weather cancellations which have to be taken into account. you'll probably get 75% less flights in those months as you would during the months between now and october.

best thing i can suggest is study a whole lot, because a failure of any of the written tests is going to push you back a month.

you wont be able to do this while holding a job, so i hope you have your money saved up.

I did my PPL, MIFR, and CPL in ten months time. 25 hours twin or so at the end of it, 220ish TT. That was at a pace that allowed me to work to pay for it, too. Nine months is totally possible if you put your mind to it.


Now stop asking for rhetorical advice on the internet, get off your duff and start working towards something. Talking has never gotten anybody anywhere. Best of luck

How often to fly? Every day... one hour. Two hours every other day, maybe? (these are suggestions) Enough to push yourself, but not so much you begin to burn out- find your own limit.

Oh, and just incase noone else has said this yet... do your Multi/ MIFR between the private and commercial- it's cost efficient that way.

I went from 57 hours with a PPL, to IFR, CPL and Instructor in 10 months. I had to work my arse off every day. If I didn't fly one day it was because I was too wiped to be safe or it was bad weather. But those days were well spent studying.

Find a location that has good weather often, like the prairies, and choose the time of year that has the best weather to start your PPL with.

Also find an experienced instructor who knows how to manage time well. I know when I started teaching, if there was bad weather, I found it difficult to find something to do with the student. Now I can find something useful to do even if we have bad weather for a few bookings in a row. Be careful though, because the instructor can waste your time by doing useless things. It's all about using the low ceilings/low vis days for IFR time or sim time during thunderstorms...

Just how severe is the winter in Jan, feb in terms of flight hrs per day average in Vancouver, BC; Manitoba and New brunswick areas.

Blue, guessing here, but is that because your MIFR training is Dual...and takes in some of the Dual hrs requirements of a CPL (35 hrs thingy)?....leaving you in reality with just 15 odd hrs of 'ferrying' an instructor on board?

That's a valid point... doing the ratings in such an order knocks off some of the dual req's AND all the instrument req's. But in the end it really saves you having to buy your IFR after the commercial (where it's now taxed as per usual)

[EchoNovemberAlpha]

So what your sayin Blue, is that One should obtain an MIFR on a PPL and once you get your CPL, have it endorsed with the MIFR? Nice!

Regarding the Tax implication, you mean GST in this case right?...Is it true that doing an Integrated course can save on the GST completely...if ofcourse you pursue or intend to pursue it down to the CPL..? Are you saying that this includes the MIFR as well?!...that'll be great if so..

All I'm saying is this:

PPL: $5000
Time building: $20000 (160 hrs)
CPL total= 5000+20000=25000
MIFR: $6500
Grand total: $31500

whereas

PPL: $5000
Time build: $14000 (125 hrs)
MIFR: $6500 (30 hrs approx)
CPL total: $25500
GT=Cpl total

I don't know much about the integrated courses and what they do or do not include- so I'm not saying or implying anything about them. Better to ask someone else or check info from a school that has such a program.

Actually you still get tax credits for it. On the Education Tax Credit form you get from the school you did your IFR, there is a line on the bottom that you must sign saying that you promise this training was towards your career.

If you think about it it's still working towards your ATPL.
