gyrene Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Mooniacs; The Mid Atlantic Group of the Mooney Caravan (MAG) will host a 2017 East Coast Regional Mooney Caravan Clinic scheduled for the weekend of 23-25 June (rain dates of 8 or 15 July) at KLYH (Lynchburg, VA). The Clinic will provide mentoring and qualification to new and returning pilots to fly the Mooney Caravan to AirVenture 2017 at OSH. The schedule is to arrive at KLYH NLT 1100 on Friday, 23 June, with that afternoon devoted to ground school and demo flights. Returning Caravanners are encouraged to attend the ground school as a refresher. Qualification/training flights are scheduled for Saturday extending into Sunday according to individual requirements. Please use this link to register: Click Here to Register for LYH Caravan Clinic You will be met at the FBO, attend the ground school and a demo flight, then scheduled transportation will take you to the Fairfield Inn. You need only show up, we’ll do the rest. Expect a registration fee of $80 for a really nice tee shirt, lunches, and to cover incidentals and gratuities for the hotel/FBO staff. We have some great dinner events planned. We selected KLYH as it offers a centralized location, 150’ runway, control tower, no restrictive airspace, proximity to the hotel (5 minutes), and most importantly, a courtesy van. Restaurants are within walking distance, and we have negotiated a reduced rate ($109) at the Fairfield Inn. Use this link to reserve your room: Book your group rate for Mooney Pilots Be advised that there are a limited number of Kings and Queens available so you would be best served by reserving early if you want a choice. The Mooney Caravan offers a unique opportunity to learn a new flying skill, become a more proficient pilot, make friends with a like-minded group of pilots, and fly a formation mass-arrival at OSH. This is serious fun, and I encourage you to explore this opportunity. We will be in touch with you closer to the event with more details, but in the meantime if you have any questions or just want to discuss the Caravan please call me at 703-304-7406 or email at jpr6353@comcast.net.

mccdeuce Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 I'm interested in joining but not sure I will make OSH. (Pretty sure I won't be able to actually) but would still like to join for the clinic if that's ok? Quote

Mark, and anyone else, I understand from Lee Fox that as of today there is room for 2 or 3 more newbies. I told Lee that I would pass that info on and see if we can't fill the slots. Lots of fun with good guys and gals and I think you'll learn something. There are some minimum experience requirements so visit http://www.mooneycaravan.com/ where most questions can be answered and you can register. There's a block of rooms at the Fairfield Inn near the airport. Check out the OP above for more details. Quote
