Derek Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm in the process of getting myself into an M20J and will be needing those 10 hours dual with a CFI if the purchase goes well. I'm planning to base out of KPOU (I live in northern Westchester County). I know a CFI with some Mooney experience. But, I'm all about options so I'm interested in finding out from the hivemind here on MS who the good folks are in the area to teach a low timer like me (about 60h PP). I'm starting on my IR right now also, and plan to use the J for that training. So, a CFII would be even better. I appreciate any recommendations y'all have! Thanks!

carusoam Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 The MAPA list has a few CFIIs if you can find that list... In NJ, I have flown with John Pallante (has a K) a couple of times... Cris had recommended John to me... It has been a few years since I was relearning to fly... If you need contact data for JP, let me know... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnel Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) When I got my K I was referred to Jack Napoli on Long Island - six three one 806-4436. He owns a K and has some 3000 Mooney hours. I ended up doing my conversion with Brian Lloyd in Texas though before flying back the plane so never used Jack. https://themooneyflyer.com/cfi.html has the full list Edited September 14, 2019 by pwnel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB4 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Ken from Nassau Flyers at Republic is good. He also owns a J so has a lot of owner/operator knowledge he shares too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
