Default Need a mentor in Ann Arbor

Is there anyone in the Ann Arbor / Plymouth area who would like to mentor my early 20's nephew who has just expressed an interest in getting his PPL?

Bill, I can't speak for whether or not he would agree to mentor your nephew, but you might shoot terrykohler a PM and ask him. He's an instructor and a -9A builder based at Pontiac.

Canton- 1D2, has **** as of now they had some management issues, so unless you have your own plane not much to rent. Solo Aviation does have a plane or two there just no on-site presence.

AA - ARB Your best bet would be Solo Aviation

He can get involved in EAA Chapt 113 at 1D2 very active club and very friendly. They have yearly scholarships and have mentored many 16-20's

Thanks for the help.

I got my PPL at 1D2 in the 80's and one of my roommates from WMU keeps his newly restored 120 there.

Bummer to hear they don't have a flight school any more.

I'll suggest he join 113.
