dfw mooney instructor

[romair]

I am looking to start my IFR training sometime next month. I have about 50 hrs in my Mooney, and slightly over 100 in total. I never received true Mooney specific training, and this website has been incredibly helpful in terms of the collective information that it offers. I was thinking of getting my IFR training with a Mooney specific instructor, and this way pick up a few more practical tips. Any suggestions for the dfw area?

Thanks,

Stefan

Stefan - Give Jerry Johnson a call. Not sure if he will do IFR training but he provided my transition training and did a great job. He has 5000+ hours in Mooney's. PM me if you need his number.

+1 for Jerry Johnson. In addition to knowing his business, he is a good teacher and a nice guy.

+2 for Jerry Johnson. He is a MPPP director as well and knows Mooneys.

+3 for Jerry. A Mooney guru for sure. Some time ago he owned a beautiful 252.

Jerry just installed he 3rd engine in his M20C... Last year it won MAPA M20C of the year.

He said he bought that M20C back in 1973, from a guy who was desperate to unload cheap because "They are about to ban 100LL".

 

he also has a nice 201 style panel in it. His son Mark has a really nice 1982 M20J as well.

Jerry is great. He was my PPP instructor when I first bought my C. Very knowledgeable, and will teach what you need to be safe. Proficiency is up to you--practice, practice, practice.

Sorry...I was incorrect about that 252.
