30X Posted October 31 Report Posted October 31 Hey everyone, I'm new here on the forum. Recently bought a Mooney M20E, and need to find a CFI to complete my complex rating. They must have a pretty decent amount of experience in a Mooney. I am located at KGAI Airport, Gaithersburg Maryland. My insurance requires that I have 10 hours dual time with an instructor and 10 takeoffs at landings. I've completed 4 hours and 4 takeoff and landings this past week with an instructor who helped me fly the plane home. Any leads would be greatly appreciated! CM Quote

Hank Posted November 1 Report Posted November 1 @30X, an MSer or two is based in that area. Wonder if @Seth would be available? He may be based in Frederick, I don't recall. Quote

CM It's too bad the instructor who helped you get it home couldn't have stayed an extra day to help you knock out the extra 6 hours, etc. Quote

(Don Kaye is also on that esteemed list.) Will Wobbe is another Virginia-based instructor and might be closer. Also on that Mooney link I posted. Quote
Seth Posted December 3 Report Posted December 3 (edited) Sorry I'm late to the party! I did speak with CM and made some suggestions. I'm not a CFI. I want to be one day! -Seth Edited December 3 by Seth Quote
