Many intelligent, highly experienced Mooney pilots on the forum. Kindly ask your advice.
Rather than commute from MSP (Minneapolis) to XNA (Arkansas) each week for work am considering obtaining my pilots license and instrument rating, and purchasing a fast / efficient Mooney. Economics are close to breakeven, but the upside is I obtain a useful skill. My concern is weather.
Is it reasonable for me to believe I could regularly make this trip (fly down Monday morning, fly back up on Friday afternoon)? More specifically, how flexible (due to weather) would my schedule likely have to be in order for me to believe I could pull this off???
Many thanks...
