Looking for a CFII for a day in Greeley, CO area

Recommended Posts

My plane is nearing completion of a panel upgrade (in Greeley) in the next few weeks. When the work is done, I’ll need to do a post maintenance flight to fully exercise all the features of the new setup, so I can get any squawks fixed before I bring it home. I’d like to not do this entirely by myself. The upgrade is a G3X, GTN750, & GFC500. 

Strictly speaking, I don’t need a CFII, but prefer one since I am not yet instrument rated. I’m not looking to make this instruction, really just make sure everything works as expected before I head back home. I’m figuring this will take a few hours in one day to put everything through it’s paces (but that’s just a guess), and of course will only happen in VMC. 

I don’t have an exact date, but this would preferably be on a Friday or Saturday no sooner than 8/13. If anyone is, or knows such a person, that can get to Greeley on a Friday or Saturday in the coming weeks, can you let me know. Thanks.

Im in boulder. I dont have my cfii or my cfi for that mater, however i have the same panel as you in my mooney. If you want help, im more than happy to help. I know the ins and outs of the g3x and the gfc500 pretty well and can definetely show you have to navigate it. Shoot me a pm if youre interested.

I'm a CFII in the area, flying out of KLMO and KBJC, and often over at KGXY for instrument training and hundred dollar hamburgers.  I'd be glad to sit with you on a test hop out of Greeley the weekend of 8/13-8/14.  I'm very familiar with the GTN, and largely familiar with the GFC 500, but only lightly familiar with the G3X.

I am not claiming I can be more helpful than Niko182, who has the same panel.  Indeed, he'll almost certainly have more G3X tips/tricks than I.  My only edge is arguably in remembering to look out the window occasionally while enjoying all those fancy avionics.  :lol:  Doesn't sound like this ride particularly requires a CFII, and no hard feelings if you'd rather ride with him than me.  PM me if interested.

Hey there. Thanks for the offer. Since you know the panel, know the plane, and know the area, that’s probably good enough.  I’ll ping you when I know the actual pickup date to see if you’re available. Are you IR?
