Prop "training" - Read Pierres post on the subject...

...Training complete!

Really, a CS prop is less complicated than using flaps correctly. No training required, just read.

Default Could be wrong but....

I thought that a complex aircraft had to have 2 out of three....
CS prop
flaps
retract.

so, wouldn't an RV7 with a CS prop be complex??
or have I got that all wrong....

Regards,
Chris

Thanks everyone. Please keep the suggestions coming.

I am in a discussion with my insurance company, trying to work out the specifics of the coverage. I did not consider that I might have to have the policy for the training part of the ownership!! I am also trying to see if a 6 is a 7 or if an 8 is a 7 or ...

Either way they want me to have 5 hours dual in model. Seems reasonable. Maybe I should go back to focusing on finishing my TW and then getting separate transition hours for the insurance. I can worry about the complex later.

So if I just need transition time in a tail dragger model RV (that qualifies as training for the 7, whatever that is), how far from NY/NJ would I have to go to get it? I think we can keep it simple now and forget the TW endorsement and complex for the moment. I can always do that in my own neighborhood.

One point though, will anyone give me transition training if I am only 8 hours toward my TW endorsement? You'd think I could just take a day off and go finish up, but the weather and my instructor's schedule have been extremely uncooperative! I took my first lesson in the beginning of February and in spite of focusing on this training, I am only 8 hours into the endorsement. Crazy! I remember being a little sad we didn't get to put the skis on when I started. Now, it looks like I am going to get a second Winter to work with!

Thanks for all the help while I try to figure this all out! Andy

Bev, if you're still seeking a CFI to transition train you in the -8, you could call Jack Phillips at Smith Mountain Lake. He's had an 8 and is building a -10 now. Great guy.

Bedford Landings B&B is his business at W91. PM me if you want his cell #.

And if you're flying anything now, come up for BBQ on the 15th, neighbor.
