A blog reader asked us recently, "I just passed ATP written, looking to get typed in something. I am 4500TT, CFII, 400 multi, 400 turbine singles (Meridian/TBM) past flying corporate airplane dealer. Which Type provides best opportunity for a right-seat position? Too old to fly for Part 121, so a 135 or corporate operator. Would a CJ Type be good? Thanks, and again, nice blogs!"

Excellent advice about the Gulfstream type. unbelievable the cost of aviation. Just got back from the G550 course, what a rip off. The quality of the education provided was at best sub standard for the $90,000 3 week course. Instructors Regurgitating the manuals the AFM and AOMs that I had already studied before arrival, training aids that were glitchy or broken. A 6 month welding course would have been more productive and rewarding than what Flight Safety calls training at a fraction of the cost.

Ouch! My Premier recurrent was good at my FS recently, sorry to hear about your G550 experience. $90k is NOT chump change.

@Pratik4311 5 месяцев назад

Wow 90k! Do you expect to make that back within a year?

Nice Video! I'm a young pilot in Southern California and got my (61.55) 525 type with "SIC privileges only." It's been a perfect intro into jet flying, CRM and contracting. Even though the CJ is a Single pilot plane it has created a lot of opportunity and tons of great experience! I highly recommend the 525!

Rich, I sent you a message on instagram. I think you've flown for my company before. Small world

@PersonalWings 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your SIC in the 525.

I’m doing the same thing you did and in So Cal as well. Great to know you have had success! Congrats! @@gaetanobasile9032

Great advice. Thank you 👍

You're welcome. We are asked frequently on this topic. If you are buying a specific plane, then you would want a rating for that aircraft. However, if you are interested in obtaining a type rating for other purposes, obtaining one that is more versatile is useful. I have nine type ratings, and most are only good for one model --- hence the number :) It also means that I completed 3-5 recurrents each year to fly them.

@earnedwings5206 8 месяцев назад

Yes and I will be obtaining mine on the CE 525s like you suggested. I have two possible opportunities with a part 91 operation and they both use a CJ II & III@@PersonalWings

What about the embraer 135-145 And the legacy version 600 and 650 Is it good?

@PersonalWings Год назад

All jet ratings are useful, the question becomes which one to get first ! I have 9 but not all of them will produce income :) If your goal is to simply get a jet rating , then the L39 is a blast but probably won’t generate an income. If for example there are a number of Citation Jets (525 series ) in your area than that might be the best one, it is also useful if you are simply looking to learn to fly a business jet. If you are lucky the perhaps someone else will pay for the training including an Embraer jet!

@theharous8932 Год назад

@@PersonalWings thank you, but im looking for two at the moment which is the legacy 600 at first and then maybe golbal 5000 … is there a good income from the legacy for a start?

@jurassicboyplayz3038 5 месяцев назад

How do you find the specific information on where the aircraft are? I'm interested in flying Gulfstreams for a living and I've found the estimated rating cost is around $30,000, but I cant find information on where to be located.

@@PersonalWings I’m talking about after you get the rating, how do you figure out where to be placed geographically to make a living

@PersonalWings 5 месяцев назад

@@jurassicboyplayz3038 That is a difficult decision since there are opportunities in a variety of regions. If you are flexible then it increases your options, which may be key when you start your career. In other cases you may be more limited due to personal reasons.

PRAGMATISM 1st. ...MOST folx train Robinson 22 🚁 even tho its VERY unforgiving ...be practical

@PersonalWings Год назад

I've flown the R22 and it is fun, although I like the R44 and R66 for their design!

@EduardoAbreu-Counsell 5 месяцев назад

Please don’t advocate paying for a type rating. The owner/company should pay for the rating. Paying for one’s own rating undermines the entire industry and sets precedents.

@PersonalWings 5 месяцев назад

I disagree, in some cases it is advantageous to pay for a type rating. For those pilots who don't have the experience to meet the requirements of an employer/client it can make their entry into the turbine world easier. I've done that myself. It isn't any different than paying for your own PPL, IFR, etc. While I have had clients pay for some of my 9 type ratings, I've also paid for some of them. It allowed me to be more independent as a contract pilot, fly my own jets, and just for fun!
