I have recently acquired a Mooney Acclaim Ultra (I have an amazing wife who insisted we get another airplane!)and need to do a few things. I flew my last Mooney in 2010 and then a T206( a friends) until 2016. No flying since. We have relocated out west and will need to fly in the Northwest (Montana and Oregon specifically)for business and pleasure. I need a few recommendations:
1) Obviously I need to get current again (in the Acclaim) and I DEFINITELY need help getting educated and experience in mountain flying. Not just VFR in the mountains but also IFR and education in adverse weather since Ice is a way of life in the Northwest. ( I've flown mainly in the Southeast for many years). Ideas?
2) Possible contacts for instructors with experience in mountain flying/Mooneys,etc.. and willing to travel to Montana (whitefish) or Oregon in Late February or March
Thanks!
Excited to be back in the Mooney family
