I live in Humboldt County and am finishing up my PPL in Southern California in between jobs. Assuming that I pass my checkride next week, I plan to start working toward my instrument rating as soon as I can (the coastal fog pretty much requires an instrument rating for the PPL to have meaning up here). Since, to my knowledge, there are no rental planes available north of Ukiah, and since the local flight school (yes, just one) has a 6 month waitlist, I am debating how best to build PIC and simulated instrument hours.
One of the thoughts I have had is buying something relatively cheap, trying to find a safety pilot in the area who has similar goals, splitting the actual flight costs with him/her, and slowly building up hours that way. I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone who has done something similar.
Thanks in advance.
