This. I'm doing multi with Tom in a few weeks.
Any of the puppy mills using seminoles. You should be able to do it in a weekend.
That. There really isn't too much to it.
Action multi ratings Groton Conn. Multi comm add on,2195. Aircraft are two Senecas,a little worn in the tooth.
I'm going to do mine with Action, they're closer and Traverse + Airfare > Action for me
Same. That's who I am going to for the ATP. Have heard nothing but good things about them.
When are you going to do it ? I may be paying for my ATP training and I certainly interested in hearing about action's offerings. I have until July so I'm not in any rush.
Our ATP program is a 3 day course and the cost is $2295. The course provides you with all the ground training necessary to prepare you for the checkride, up to 7 hours of flight training in the Seneca, and the aircraft rental for your checkride. While the vast majority of our students finish within the 7 hours allotted, additional time is available for $325/hr (wet with the instructor). Also, the examiners fee is $400 and you will pay that directly to the examiner on the day of your checkride.
To book the course, we take a deposit of $175 from you over the phone and mail you a course package. The course package will include our training syllabus, the procedures for each of the maneuvers you will be doing, an open book pre-training test, and a Seneca manual. You will be responsible for memorizing the flight procedures as best you can and completing the pre-training test before you arrive for training.
I had a friend go to a "puppy mill" and I went to traverse. He spent $5900 all in. I spent $2100 all in. I dont think the "puppy mill" satisfies the original request.
How on earth?
Traverse City sounds like a great opportunity for me to hide out for a few days while visiting the in-laws in Muskegon... I'll have to reach out to Tom next time I'm up there.
QFT.!If by "puppy mills" we mean ATP etc, you'll find that their "ME program" often consists of 20 hours of ground, 10 hours multi dual, a G1000 "transition course" for 20 hours, 5 hours of Redbird simulator training, and so on and so on.
Try Air America FC in Daytona Beach. Duchess for 195/hr, instructor 35-40/hr, DPE 500, get it done in 5 hours, ~2000 bucks all in.

Whatever it is, their website ain't it. But I know a lot of pilots swear by their experience down there.What are they charging these days?

If the price is advertised on their website I'm not sure how they wouldn't be obligated to honor it.

Nice. Not the kind of place I'd want teaching me how to fly multi-engine...I called on that 10 years ago and was told the website was out of date, they haven't updated it since.. At the time it was around 200 ish for the twin, if I recall.
Yeah, we have a seneca for $245/hr, I am not sure how much cheaper it can get than that.. Although a Mogas burning Apache or something should shave a few bucks off..

I've noticed quite a few places that charge more than what their website says(including my local FBO). Told them their website is different and I got, "Oh...well these are the current prices"
If I was interested in doing that, I'd mail a copy of the web page and a check to them. An offer and an acceptance.
Possibly, but it shows a lack of attention to detail about running a business. When your advertising is incorrect, someone points it out and you've done nothing about it for 10 years....if you don't care enough about that aspect of your business, what else don't you care about?I am not sure that keeping a website up to date and teaching someone to feather engines and stomp on rudders is too closely connected.
