Gatlin Gun Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 Just wanted to say thank you. Mooney space has been very helpful, and I truly appreciate it. I've been asking a lot of questions over the past few months, and it's paid off. I FINALLY closed on and flew home my first airplane and mooney... COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! Thank you to everyone in their past...and future...patience with my questions! 4 Quote

Oex2500 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 I’m also new to this and was considering a Mooney for my first plane. It will be used mostly in my business ... 100nm trips 10x a month and 900nm trips 2-3x a month. 2 Quote
rbridges Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 I contributed nothing, but I'm more than glad to take all the praise. Quote

carusoam Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Way to go Gatlin! What do you have for training/ familiarization lined up? Just wondering... Best regards, -a- Quote
Gatlin Gun Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I got checked out by a local instructor for my bi-annual, complex, and performance tickets. I have lots of time in high performance, complex aircraft...so I feel way more concerned about making the avionics do/say/reflect what I want then I am landing or flying!

carusoam Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Are you familiar with the MAPA group? They have some really good Mooney Specific training that you may be interested in. They have a few weekend events scheduled each year. It is a great way to get familiarized with IR related things and other specific performance related items specific to your airframe... The kind of stuff you want to have in your tool box if using your plane for work... Best regards, -a- Quote
Gatlin Gun Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Posted March 19, 2019 I'm not familiar with the MAPA group...but I am curious about it now. Is there a schedule posted somewhere?? This is just a "fun" plane and not used for work, but I'm ALWAYS ready to put "more" in the proverbial toolbox of flying knowledge. Quote
carusoam Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 The Rocket is a very powerful world traveler... You want to be knowledgeable of all of its powers... Enough to not get hurt by them accidently... http://www.mooneypilots.com/index.htm Best regards, -a- 1 Quote

I can't speak highly enough of the value the MAPA PPP brings to a new Mooney pilot! My first one was five weeks after completing my insurance dual, and I hit 100 hours total time on the way there. They literally cover everything--planning, flight, maintenance, upgrades. And having a CFII with loads of Mooney experience, often in your same model plane, flying with you is great. Quote
