mooneyflyer Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 We need writing contributors to The Mooney Flyer or we may have to cease the magazine. If you want to help, we need 2-3 people willing to write on a regular basis, or more writers, then each could contribute less frequently. We will do all the editing. Pass this on to any Mooniacs who may be interested. We have been publishing since May 2012. It’s fun and rewarding thanks, Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Dear PhilI don’t know if my contributions might be of interest to the rest of the Mooney community. But I could write about mistakes I committed upgrading or how it is to fly internationally.So count me in.OscarSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLJA Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi Phil, If you’re looking for someone to contribute, I’d be willing and able to help out. My flying experience is minimal (Under 200 hours), but I do research a ton of topics, and would be willing to summarize and write for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver98 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 This wouldn’t be Mooney specific but my wife would be happy to do an ATC Q and A type of content article. Which could lead into additional discussion or technical ATC articles. Not to worry, she’s a much better writer than I am. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two good stories to start out with would be how she dealt with a stuck trim situation and then what Mooney "gotcha" she discovered recently when the gear wouldn't retract. I am sure there are many more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammdo Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I could write about what I’m going through to get my 3rd class medical after heart failure and what you really have to do to keep flying. I can include what happens when you have an ICD/Pacemaker. Also, getting back into flying after a 20 year layoff — transitioning to a Mooney. -Don 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates97 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'm not a professional writer by any means but have been documenting my experiences from beginning my PPL through present day on my blog. Some posts are better than others. I would be happy to contribute. There are additional posts just sitting in draft status waiting to be polished up and published. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Weber Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I would love to contribute my little pocket full of experience. I work with pilots and maintenance people all over the world, attempting to "put into plain language" the very technical concepts of their autoflight systems. By doing so it enables us to find and correct the root problems, and enlightens the awareness of future issues. webairconsulting.com 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
