I've had a couple of friends come down there in the last month or two and neither were able to get the hours they wanted. Just wondering if you guys were short on airplanes, I was thinkin of comin and tryin to fly mid summer.

Skymates does not garauntee the 100 hour time building program to be finished in a given period of time.

Some peolple come with a two week window to finish the program due to thier work schedule or whatever reason, and they might only fly 80 hours. Everyone gets a chance to fly their desired times.

Thanks

Due to the popularity of the ME program, it's tough to get scheduled, especially when someone blocks the plane out for 8 hours and only flies it for 0.6. Believe it or not, that happens a lot. For one stretch, I don't think the engines of poor 50A cooled off for like a week. It was like one person would get out of the plane, hand the clipboard to the next person, repeat. Throw in the standard mx checks and 100 hour inspections, and scheduling can be pretty tight. On some popular days, it can be tough to get a 172. However, it's no worse than any other flight school I've been at.
