|  What did you do to build time for your Commercial ticket I have my PPL and about 100 hours now. Looking at getting the instrument ticket after the new year. With that I will be at around 150 hours I'm guessing. So the question is what can you do short of just renting to get the other 100 hours for the Commercial and CFI tickets? I was looking at getting my MEL then doing instrument training in the twin but my FBO just jacked up the rate on the twin. I may look around for another FBO but I like this one. |

 | Re: What did you do to build time for your Commercial ticket You could spend the next 100 hours doing interesting cross countries (with friends/family), do some aerobatic flights, get your tailwheel and high performance signoffs, get your seaplane addon, learn to fly glass cockpits. None of those should be much more expensive than flying a 172 in the pattern for 100 hours.

| Re: What did you do to build time for your Commercial ticket You could get your MEL private, then do some timebuilding flights while working on IFR stuff with another guy. Would help you later when you get your IFR and would be multi PIC. Don't recommend a whole lot of time like this, no more than 50 hours, but it can be beneficial up to a certain point.
