sekomel Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 hello everyone I’ve searched the whole site but could not find any information about it, do u guys know any training organisations, or flight schools in europe that have ‘mooney’ type aircrafts in their organisations? I want to have mooney type difference training, I have both atpl and ppl (trained in cessna type) but I have never flown with any mooney type airplane so far. so can someone please give me a hand about that? thanks a million & all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Welcome aboard sekomel! Stand by for our European members to stop in... We have a thread around here collecting data on renting and training in Mooneys in the US... That may be a bit far for you... but, something to consider if you can’t find what you are looking for at home... Best regards, -a- 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekomel Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 hello carusoam! thank you so much for the warm welcome & invitation.. If I cannot find any option here, flying to the us is not so far than thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terbang Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Westflug in Aachen, Germany offer two 20Js for rent/training. Don't know how practical that is for you, depends on your location, of course. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmo Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I understand OP has their own M20J and wants transition training. @sekomel can you please clarify if you have a plane and just need a FI with Mooney experience, or both a plane and a FI? @terbang - don't you have a FI rating? Also maybe @Ibra? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terbang Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ah, sorry, in this case I got it wrong. But yes, I'm an EASA FI(A). I'm based in the Southwest of Germany if this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibra Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Westflug in Aachen seems like your best bet for transition & rental I am EASA & CAA CRI(A), so I can help with dual hours & complex sign-off in owned M20J if not far away from London/Paris Edited February 17, 2021 by Ibra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also maybe @Ibra? hello tmo thanks for help, yes you are correct (my mistake actually not explained that clearly before) we just bought m20j mooney, ‘93 and need to type transition training.. so overall we just need a FI..

terbang Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 still a bit confused. You mean, you would fly your plane to either Ibra's or my base to get the training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekomel Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) sorry my mistake no, I can’t do that as I don’t feel ready to fly.. I mean we can get either Ibra’s or your base by commercial plane to get the training.. ps: (in this case, we wll need a mooney as well) I’ve checked ibra’s place has two mooneys there..but don’t know yours.. ..unless if you want to come istanbul (expenses on me of course) and do the training here with our plane..

terbang Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ah, got it. I don't instruct in my plane. Maybe you can find an FI that is willing to travel. I would be tempted to do that but it's a bit trick currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibra Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) 15 minutes ago, sekomel said: unless if you want to come istanbul I am sure @terbang would fly that one in a single leg but yes very tricky these days Way easier to get transition in Westflug in Aachen, and surely they have some available local instructors Training becomes complicated with various registrations & airspaces, I guess your aircraft is now TC-registred? EASA-reg? or N-reg? The M20J I fly is US registred but I am not an FAA CFI... Edited February 17, 2021 by Ibra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekomel Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I can imagine (covid-19) :/ exactly, reg issue is the another issue..my airplane is tc reg (you are correct) it is tc-azk, m20j, ‘93.. do u have any contacts from westflug? @terbang is not available till end of march and we (my wife and I) are both first officers at turkish airlines and we have only one annual leave which first week of march so.. thanks for the all helps, indeed..
