prestonvanloon Posted August 27, 2020 Report Posted August 27, 2020 I'm looking for a CFI at KWHP with experience in a Mooney M20J for instrument rating. Does anyone have any leads or suggestions? Thanks! Quote
Bolter Posted August 27, 2020 Report Posted August 27, 2020 I used to be based on KWHP and know a few people. Try Kevin Schiff (Hangar Row G?, SE hangar area, large hangar on the end next to Walter's welding shop). He knows everybody at the field, and could give you an honest referral. He is a CFI not a CFI-I, so he could instruct for instrument familiarization, but could not get you to your IR. He was also the IA that did my [M20J] annuals for 7 years when I lived in LA. -dan 1 Quote
prestonvanloon Posted August 27, 2020 Author Report Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks Dan! I have Kevin's number, I'll shoot him a message. At a minimum, I need CFI for insurance checkout. Instrument rating is the next step after that. Quote
donkaye Posted August 27, 2020 Report Posted August 27, 2020 Mike Jesch would be the one to go to. While he doesn't own a Mooney, he has trained a number of people in them. He is an American Airlines 787 pilot and a really good guy. Tell him I recommended you call him. I would come down and do it myself, but with Covid, I'm not taking on any new students at this time. I'm doing engine break-ins and ferrying for the time being. 714-588-9346 or mcjesch@gmail.com 1 Quote

All the college bound students are running into a similar situation... where the speed of getting the test done really matters.... The business news channels we’re discussing the 15minute test earlier this week... It’s looking pretty useful.... I grabbed a sample from the internet... Not sure if this is the same thing.... https://www.xurgentcare.com/covid-19-rapid-test-near-me-coronavirus-testing-fda-sofia-sars-antigen-urgent-care-orange-county-ca/ PP thoughts only, not a medical person of any method or form....
