Seek out a CFI with more than 5 hrs in an F if you really want to get something out of the training 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrickearly Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Thank you for the recommendations. I need to tick the box for insurance. I have 200 hours in a 20f and 200 in a 20j. Unfortunately, none in a 20f in the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what @mike_elliott was trying to say was that as long as you’re going through the time and expense to spend 5 hours with a CFI, why not actually learn something instead of just flying around with ballast in the right seat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxrpilot Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 @Parker_Woodruff would be my first choice. The truth is it's probably harder to find a CFI in Kerrville without Mooney experience, than one with... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrickearly Posted October 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Sorry folks. Looks like I misread my insurance policy. My agent is okay with my hours, so I do not need a CFI in KERV after all. I'm really sorry for wasting your time here, and thank you for your kind help.
