Best Option for Private Pilot to Multi Commercial Instrument Ratings
I am currently a ASEL private pilot and would like to get to Multi Commercial
Instument ASAP. I can dedicate full time to this and would like your opinions on the best way to go about it. There seem to be 2 schools of thought - 1- get my instrument and commercial in a Single Engine, then get my multi add ons. 2- Get my multi first, then work on instrument and commercial in the multi. I can understand the pro's and cons to both. Option 1 allows me to work on one thing at a time since I am already comfortable in a single engine, however it might be detrimental b/c I won't have any appreciatable multi time when I am done. This will lead to problems with insurance rates if I am insurable at all. Option 2 on the other hand will be a more expensive option, and will require learning a few new things at the same time, but will also build 150 or so hrs in the multi when I have my ratings which will certainly help insurance companies. Additional info - I am currently at about 185 hrs. I am not looking to go to the airlines, but rather I am looking to fly a Cessna 421 for my company. Any suggestions? thanks, Mark |
