IFR training tips in a C model - continuous thread

[Marauder]

IR Checkride for tomorrow got cancelled because of weather.  My DPE is not available again for the next month .  Any other well-regarded DPEs in easy flying distance from Philly who I might try??

Who were you supposed to fly with? There is a guy from Allentown who is pretty good. Let me know if you want me to get his contact info.

Asking @Cris Might get an answer to who are the DPEs in the neighborhood...

Good luck Dev,

-a-

I’d suggest Tom Callahan who flys out of the Flying W in Medford. However Tom may be medically down at the moment. Alternatively go onto the AOPA web site for Instructor options or call them direct. They should be able to help.

Finally!  I finished my IR today, 3.5 years after finishing my PPL  and buying my M20C.  I can't say it was a great checkride performance, but I owe a huge thanks to my truly outstanding CFII Charlie Haubrich (pictured), who is also a Mooney Safety Foundation instructor. I am also grateful my DPE was in a forgiving mood today.

Now I need to figure out how to stay current...

Congratulations on your IR Dev! Charlie is an excellent instructor.

Way to go Dev! If you need a safety pilot, let me know.

Likewise Chris! I need to get plugged into the safety piloting scene around here.
