I wish our Seminole was 280 an hour, I get gouged and bottom barrel flying times compared to the contract kids here

How much do you pay for it?

[Tordon22]

It works out to almost 6 dollars per minute, lol

So 360 per hour? If the fuel is included that's not that bad.

How much does 100LL cost at your FBO and what's the fuel burn on the Seminole?

[Tordon22]

Fuel and instructor included. I cant remember what it works out to, but its a fixed price around 4.00-4.50 ish. That is if I refuel here. The school itself does it's own fuel. I go to the flight safety academy for now. Off to Denver soon for cfi and ii.

I'm actually against having college student operate the tower. Most controllers in prescott graduated from riddle and they suck.

Remember, we arent Riddle, which was sort of part of my previous post.

We are known for our ATC program. In fact when students go to Oklahoma City, the first thing they do is ask whole all went to CCBC and they are the tutors/mentors for the rest of the class.

And if the students ever do something that could possibly cause problems, the supervisor will step on coms right away and correct the situation. Now granted you can always tell when new students are in the tower, but they quickly learn it.

Our fuel costs 3.85 a gallon for 100LL, but the supplier sells it at a loss. however, we pay seperately for instructors, which is another $32/hr

Since the instructor is included I don't think it's a bad price. Sure it could be cheaper but I would not call that "expensive", just a bit on the high side.

Oh so there is a supervisor in the tower, than it's good.

I know almost nothing about Riddle's ATC program, my comments were about people that graduated from there. But then again I did see a whole bunch of experienced controllers do stupid stuff at other airports.

We are paying 5.60 to 5.80 a gallon for avgas in NW Florida...
