What was the name of the FBO? I live near Austin and would like to know more.

The FBO is called Pilot's Choice. They are up in Georgetown. The quoted rate is $17K but they also included around $2K worth of stuff in there that I have already done, so I did a little discounting.

Their website is http://www.pilotschoicetx.com/

Now, keep in mind that if you come out of there, you'll have 155 hours so you will have to do some serious time building before anyone looks at you for more than instructing and traffic watch flying.

That sounds a little strange......I not sure you can qualify for a commercial rating with only 155 hours. The 61 regs. is 250 hours, 141 regs. are less but I doubt their TCO allows them to chop 95 hours off that total.......

Part 141 allows for commercial in 190 hours (35 private + 35 inst + 120 comm).

I think tony was only talking about the commercial+ certificates, so, if you already have your private (40) and instrument (50+40) under part 61, you'll have at least 130 hours going in.

1900pilot,

Do you have anything to contribute to this website other than to be a walking advertisement for Gulfstream Training Academy and the word SPAM?!? Is that all you've got to say?

Hey Doug...how about banning this idiot, or at least, charge him and his company for all the free advertisement!

Well said A300Capt.
