Transition training for M20F/G in San Fran/San Jose bay area

[Max3293F]

Hello pilots, greetings from a new member here!

I recently purchased a M20G model and joined the forum, and looking for a CFI who can provide me some transition training in the SF/SJ bay area. Anyone knows/recommend a good CFI? Thanks in advance!

Welcome and congrats on the new bird.  I would definitely recommend you reach out to @donkaye

Thanks for the info! Someone else also recommended Don. Will try to reach out tomorrow. Any idea on his rate?

last time we spoke, it was way less than a plumber would charge per hr

I don't recall but it was very reasonable given his extensive Mooney experience.

There are certain areas where you do not cut corners and go for the best. The best investment that you can make in yourself and your Mooney flying is DON KAYE.

A lot of folks dont bat an eye on spending 20K on a gizmo and have a tendency to short change the most important system in the cockpit to keep up to date...the pilot. I applaud those that regularly attend safety events like the Mooney Summit, participate in the faa wings programs, participate on this forum, read the Mooney flyer and regularly fly with a systems knowledgable instructor to ensure compentency. You are the guys keeping the insurance rates from skyrocketing any higher, and me from writing checks to your widow.

The most critical piece of the airplane is the nut that connects the seat to the yoke.
