Building Hours Post ATP

NathanS-KY-608 · 07-03-2008

Hey Bobby, got another question for ya. What other options are there out there to build up time after you complete the Airline Pilot Program? I know of one person that got a job doing land surveys from a Multi-Engine plane. Would that be good way to build hours or does it look better on a resume if you were and instructor? Again, thanks for all your help in answering my questions. You don't know how much you have done for me so far! Have a good one!

Nathan--

My recommendation for accumulating flight time is to instruct. This will probably look more valuable in your logbook, but doing other types of flying on the side is not a bad option either. After spending the time resources into obtaining your instructor certificates I feel it's a good idea to put them to use. Instructing is a great way to increase your knowledge base and flying ability all while having a positive impact on a student's career and life.

Good question, keep them coming Nathan.
