So you will get a multi commercial + instrument rating huh? No plans of doing a CFI/CFII? It can be done in a year, but study study study. You can get through it without putting in 100%, but remember just getting by doesn’t make you a safe pilot. Good luck! _________________ eP007 Back to top Akshay Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 315 Location: Mumbai Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2007 4:35 pm    Post subject: Congrats, Saurabh Do take us for a flight once you finish _________________ MRVC Mania.

I used to spend about $1200 / month when I was in Oz, but that was coz i was living in Kirribilli. someone wish me luck too! i'm off to Sabena Airline Training Center, Mesa Arizona, this Friday!!! Am doing the Professional Pilots Course. 225 hours. Will be training on the DA 20 and the 42! my post count may not be high ... and my joining date might be the 1st of Jan '07, but i've been a silent observer for a long long time!
