This doesn't apply to you, but I think it is actually a hindrance to come in to the program with your private and instrument. I came in with a private and instrument with about 170 hours. They (they consisting of MTSU and FAA) was going to require me to enroll in the cross country lab before enrolling in the commercial lab. Since their cross country lab consists of 100 hours cross country time, that was going to put me over the 250 hours for the pt. 61 commercial requirements. Needless to say, I stayed pro pilot long enough to get my tailwheel endorsement and switch to another major in aerospace. Also, if you come in with private and instrument, you have to complete at least 3 ratings from them, which would be commercial, multi, and CFI. I know all of this info probably doesn't help you that much, maybe it will be of use if someone else comes along and reads this. |
No, that really helps! Thanks so much for the information! I'd be going in with my Private, and my goal would be to get the rest of my ratings at MTSU (instrument, multi, commercial, CFI), so I'm sure I wouldn't run out of things to do.
How'd you like MTSU?
