Instructor / Ferry assistance

[PharmDpilot]

Hello Mooney community! I am about to join you in 2 weeks with the purchase of a M20C. However I am a fairly low time pilot and next to no Mooney time.  So, I am looking for a fellow Mooney Pilot CFI who would be willing to train and possibly accompany me in the flight from Sacramento to Kentucky. This will be the week of march 20th. 

I would appreciate any help!

Welcome aboard PharmD!

We don’t have enough of you guys around…. 

 

Let me invite a Mooney CFII from your part of the Mooney world….

+1 for getting trained in your plane, and getting your plane home while doing the Transition Training…

Find @donkaye Don is one of the best Mooney Transition Trainers, and he is from the San Fran area…

If you see his instrument panel… you will want to have your new2U panel upgraded…. 

 

Best regards,

Instruction from @donkaye is the best I've received. I credit his instruction with saving my life several times.

Highest recommendation I can give.

AF, (I know who you are, but figured you might not want me to use your name) it took me a few seconds to figure out who I had taught from Austria.  Then the light bulb went on.  I'm glad you're monitoring the forum.  Thank you for the complement!

There is also a listing of Mooney instructors on Mooney Flyer page.

Don, even though I have not flown with him, would be high on my list to learn from.  But in case it doesn't work out with him, you have options.

Thank you everyone for the quick responses! I’m getting super excited about this transition in my aviation career!

I recently used the Mooney Pros for a long ferry flight, Mike Elliott, couldn’t be more impressed with the complicated journey they made for me.

Right on all counts (as usual), Mr. Kaye

I would gladly fly with you any time, any where. I'm so grateful you made the trip to elevate my competence, thank you!

I've learned so much from MooneySpace by reading. Thanks to everyone who makes this a phenomenal resource!
