Need a CFI for BFR near Atlanta

[Skywarrior]

Hello, all -

 

Need a Mooney-experienced CFI for my BFR near Atlanta. I'm available only on Aug. 8th, 9th and A.M. of the 10th.

 

Long-body experience would be best.

 

Michael O'Neal would be a great choice, but I cannot get my plane over to KPDK. Plane is hangared at 20GA in Villa Rica.

 

Any suggestions?

From the Mooney Flyer:

 

Georgia

Jim Stevens, USAF, Col, (ret), CFII. Atlanta, Ga area. 404-277-4123. Instrument, commercial, IPC, BFR, 

transition training. 20 year owner of 1968 M20F.

 

I've met Jim.  I think he's still flying Pilatuses for his regular job, but he's been flying Mooneys for a long time.

20GA??? I love that place! Nice runway, and Peggy is awesome! She still run the place? Do they still have the big Biker, Fly in BBQ ? I went to a memorial fly in a few years ago for her brother and had a great time!

Mooneymite: Thanx for the info. I'll check him out.

 

triple8s: Peggy got pushed out by Earl's widow. Lot of owners have left....

If that doesn't work out try Dave Theisen.  He works out of PDK and RYY but could probably run down to Villa Rica.  He is also a CFII and is very familiar with Mooneys.  He can be reached at 404-483-5470.

Let us know who you choose and give us some insight into how he/she conducts a BFR, please.

KBHM may be a little far, but AJ Ramey with Birmingham flight center did my transition training.

I'm just curious why you can't get your plane over to PDK.  I agree with your point about Michael O'Neal because I fly with him a bit.  Lately I've also been flying with a guy named Bill Rutkowski...he's a part-time instructor but full CFI-I/ATP and he has his own 231, so he's very familiar with turbo Mooneys.  Drop me a PM if you're interested and I'll give you his contact info.

Mooneymite: You asked for feedback - Jim Stevens is very laid back, very genial. Only did the ground portion - thunderstorms, then broken altimeter canxed both of our attempts to fly.

Jeff S. : I can't get the plane over to PDK because my BFR is expired.

I'm not located in ATL area, but I work there. I could come down the day prior to work to do this if you can't get 'er done. If so feel free to contact me via my website.
