shawnd Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hello! Signed up on Mooney Caravan but do not see any formation clinics scheduled for the PNW region for 2023. There's a B2OSH event in June but that seems more geared towards preparing for the trip to Oshkosh. Anyone who can provide some guidance on next steps? I do have link to the Learn page at Mooney Caravan and will start on it once I figure out where I can use that knowledge Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adverseyaw Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Paging @amillet and @Bolter who are up in the PNW and are great people to connect with. The B2OSH event at Bremerton is a good way to get acquainted with formation flying. To participate in the OSH flight, you will need a proficiency check by one of our Caravan safety observers, and historically we've had at least one person at the Bremerton event who can do it. I suggest reaching out to Alan and Bolter to see what will be available at PWT this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will let you know the next time we go, and you can get a ride and see what the Caravan expects you to do. None of us remaining in the PNW are approved for training or checkouts for the Caravan, but as @adverseyaw says, some of the Beech guys are. I am going to PM you my contact info. If you are available on Fridays, that would be convenient, as well. -dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnd Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Thanks folks - Would love to take you up on your offer @Bolter and sit on the right side to see whats involved. Then eventually start the training locally if possible. Heading away for a few days currently poses a small problem logistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
