Training & resources
Your airplane should feel familiar.
Make and model training starts with the actual airplane, its equipment and the missions you intend to fly.
Start with the configuration.
Send me the model, engine, avionics, autopilot and any modifications. Tell me about your time in similar airplanes and any insurance requirements. We use that to plan the training.
Understand it. Practice it. Use it.
Systems, loading, performance, normal procedures and appropriate abnormal practice. Learn the panel before it gets busy. Put the pieces together on a flight that matters to your mission.
Other aircraft I work with include the Piper PA-28-235/236, Beech Bonanza and Baron, Mooney M20 and Cessna 182. If yours is not listed, ask about suitability.

Hear it from the pilot.
Scott Winkler talks about training in his PA-32.
