Hi again
What about Eaglejet.net`s multi programs are they any good? lets say you pay 15.000$ for 500 hrs on the Navajo and CAA only accepts 250 hrs that still a VERY good deal is it not?

A couple of points:-
First, will someone actually rent you a multi without an instructor if you have low ME time? The lowest I have found is 50 hrs multi, OR 25 dual with their MEI. I have only ever found one place which will do this, and I believe they have stopped it now. More typicay is 500 hrs TT, 100 ME, this is due to insurance requirements, so I would be interested if anyone has actually found somewhere with lower requirements.
Secondly, PUT doesn't exist in the US, so in theory there is no reason why a FAA MEI can't log "As flight instructor".
Thirdly, if you want all the "shared" hours as yours, why not link up with a US person, or someone building time for the FAA ratings. You fly, and as sole manipulator log all the hours. Charge the other pilot say a third the costs, they can also log all the hours as safety pilot towards their FAA ratings. Actually, all is not quite true. Only the time when the other pilot is nunder the hood can be logged as SP....sounds stupid, but when an examiner checks your logbook, and sees a flight as safety pilot (not that you are required to write in "as safety pilot") for the WHOLE DURATION of the flight, he knows that you've been incorrectly logging. Normally the start and end 0.3hrs is not loggable by SP (taxy etc)....
EA
PS Edited to say, if anyone wants a SP as in above example, I'd be up for it. Working towards my MEI, so RHS is good experience for me....(ME CPL/IR)
