MikeOH Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 My policy is to get an IPC every 6 months...and it's coming up! I'm based at KPOC (Brackett Field, Pomona, CA) and I like to switch around CFIIs to mix things up Any suggestions for a good CFII in the SoCal area? Thanks!

He’s based at SEE. MAPA PPP in SMX is coming up as well. Might still be able to get in. 3 1

He works out of KLGB (Long Beach) at Aces High Aviation. He's well experienced and has no interest in "time building". Flight instructing is his career. He has good credentials and very knowledgable. http://aceshighaviation.com/ 1
MikeOH Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks guys! Most appreciated. I was thinking about the MAPA PPP, but I'm not sure I can get an IPC signoff, or just the FR?

MikeOH Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks, Paul! That may be the best way to go.

SantosDumont Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Every six months? Curious what your reasoning is for that.

SantosDumont Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 I’m a new pilot, just wondering if there’s something I don’t know. 1

I believe that recurrent training from a pro lowers risk and establishes an objective level of proficiency. Maintaining mere currency by shooting approaches with a buddy acting as a safety pilot...not so much.

Hope it all goes well - I may fly with him next week prior to visiting Mr. Kaye regularly going forward...

He took me over to the "Long Beach Exhange" for lunch, which is the old Boeing hangars with lots of history & artifacts on the walls from when they built the big airliners. If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit. They have a fake runway built on the other side of the building with a runway number of: 68??? They got a lot of stuff right, but somehow that doesn't look right. There's plenty of variety of resturants inside (food court), and it's a fun atmosphere. Here is the link: https://www.presstelegram.com/2019/02/05/food-will-take-flight-at-the-hangar-at-the-long-beach-exchange-this-month/ We went over to Hawthorne Airport yesterday in the little white helicopter. It was busy, but the controllers gave us left closed traffic to a full stop on the runway, despite being so busy. The controllers seemed nice there. Have a good weekend glbtrottr!
MikeOH Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Posted April 1, 2019 Ooo, helicopters...YUUUM I bought my Mooney because I was going broke trying to learn to fly a Robbie!
glbtrottr Posted April 12, 2019 Report Posted April 12, 2019 The cost of those little helicopters is humbling. Nearly $200,000 for an overhaul ? Yikes. Getting my rating wasn’t cheap. They need to be affordable...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
