Multi Engine Time Building 6635 North Glen Harbor Boulevard Municipal Airport, Glendale, AZ 85307

"This place is great - highly recommend! I did some multi-engine time building with them from 2021-2023. Rob (owner) was very easy to work with, scheduled me for requested blocks of time in advance to meet my requirements. Communication was great - he's always easy to get in touch with and very responsive. I had the pleasure of flying with Fred (retired DPE) on most of my flights. What an awesome experience - I showed up for time building and walked away a much better pilot constantly learning and improving from his helpful and timely pointers. The time building flights aren't instructional, so the atmosphere is fun and relaxed but I was thankful to have the opportunity to fly with Fred and learn as much as I could. Flying in Arizona and California was also a good experience - I didn't cancel a single flight due to weather. We were always able to find places to go to fulfill my hour requirement. I highly recommend METB for anyone that is looking to top-off their ME time/build resume. I can't think of a better place/experience."

"Excellent experience! Recently completed C-AMEL. Instructor was beyond excellent, the aircraft were very well maintained, and the business was run very efficiently given the nature of the operation. DPE connection was provided. Good weather. Highly recommended."

"Multi Engine Time Building is as advertised and indeed so much more! Everyone I encountered was an integral and invaluable part of a success-oriented team where I felt I was the center of their attention and their primary concern. I passed my Multi Engine Instructor (MEI) check ride with flying colors. Rob is the owner of the school and chief pilot over the last 30 plus years. He has certainly mastered the art of staying ahead of aircraft maintenance, coordinating instructors and trainees, and securing check ride dates with local DPE’s. His study material is posted on the school website. While the material is relatively short and condensed, it is in fact comprehensive and it covers in excellent detail and illustration everything needed about twin aerodynamics, runway incursion, several scenario-based articles, and avionics/aircraft specifics. The trainee would be well served studying ALL of this material in advance. Jeremy was my online ground school instructor. Teaching is obviously his passion. Hard to believe his presentation went on for nearly 4 hours! I did not know my attention span can last that long. So, it must be to Jeremy’s credit that the material was so well organized and masterfully presented that it just didn’t feel like 4 hours. I asked him at the end of the presentation if he would send me the link to the recorded session as well as the power point slides, he did not hesitate and immediately followed through by email. Outstanding communication skills and genuine commitment to help the trainee. Fred was my flight instructor. He is the reason I decided to go to Arizona. Fred has a golden reputation with professional airline pilots, he trained a significant number of them. He is an ATP and has been flying since 1960… that’s 5 years longer than I’ve been on this earth! I just wish he would act his age so the rest of us can catch up with him! His high energy and laser precision focus are constant throughout the day. He does not “expect” perfection, he demands it. He will thoroughly explain every maneuver, demonstrate it, then talk you through it until you yourself are able to explain everything you’re doing as you execute the maneuver. He will not let you get away with even the smallest most subtle mistake. He knows the aircraft like the back of his hand. With the patience of a saint and the relentlessness of a bulldog, he will identify your mistake with surgical precision and show you how to fix it. When Fred signs that endorsement in your logbook, you are a skilled polished pilot guaranteed to pass your Multi Engine Instructor check ride with flying colors. That’s exactly what I did on day five. Thank you Fred! Jacob was my DPE. Strictly speaking a DPE is prohibited from instructing the examinee. However he modeled the very spirit of aviation safety with remarkable insight and experience that compels me to consider him one of my most treasured instructors. He engages you in a scenario by explaining a real-life event. Once you understand the parameters, he begins developing “what if” questions and gives you your space to develop an answer and demonstrate your competence. You will be challenged to think on your feet and fast. The flight portion was fully briefed on the ground with great emphasis on safety. I pretended I was Fred! I flew like Fred, and just like Fred, I harassed the guy in the left seat. Multi Engine Instructor check ride passed with flying colors. Awesome team!"
