How Many Hours?

Boieng747pilot · August 12th, 2009, 06:27

Hi, i am still keeping my options open for college and since I see that many think that ERAU is a waste of money, I am just getting more info to see if it really is worth it. Are there any Alumni who graduated with an Aeronautical Science degree? If so, how many hours did you come in with and graduate with? Thanks

I graduated with an AS degree this May with Commercial Multi/Single CFI/CFII and I ended up with 240 total 60 multi. That was the Prescott, AZ campus.

i start school sept 10th at the louisiana tech university, which offers degrees in aviation biz management, and professional aviation. im majoring in professional aviation, b/c my private counts for 8 hours of credit and, if i take my instrument written before then, it will be worth 6 hours.

my cfi graduated from there in december with about 500 hours. the last 100, of course, coming from being a cfi for the university's flight school, while majoring.

I came in with zero I graduated with 250ish but around a hundred was flying for fun....

I flew approximately 100 hours at Riddle for instrument, commercial single and commercial multi. That was with only one XT flight (eXtra Training) and a re-check as the result of sloppy maneuver on my commercial single end of course check ride. If you want to completely suck at flying, I'm sure you can accumulate more hours in your log book.

I'm too lazy to do the real math since I did quite a bit of flying at home during the summers when I was home.

The only flight course I did at ERAU was the instrument course. I ended up in that with just over 21 hours (21.7) of airplane time, with about 25 or so in a simulator. That was basically as low as you could get that course. I think I ended up doing 1 sim session more than was required. The cross country I did was just long enough, to meet the requirements.

Came in with like 5hrs, left with ~140ish I think, didn't do my CFI there and there was a lot of solo x-country time just because I was young and there was a 150 for rent for $40 bucks an hour so me and a friend did the east coast one weekend. I think I had 100 hours dual or something like that...

Program has changed soooo much since I was there. Used to be 60 a flight hour for a brand new 172 w/ GPS. Now it's more than 2x that.

I finished with ~250hrs with the CFI program. Maybe about 50hrs were outside of the school.

Holy Jesus!!! I dont even know what to say.... What on earth would a payment on a $180,000 student loan be? And where are you working that you are capable of paying that?

$180,000? Typo right? Is $18,000 correct?

For a semester, without any flying, sure, $18,000 is probably about right.
