Default 9A Transition Training

Hi,

I'm hoping to fly my 9A next summer, so I'm starting to think about getting some transition training setup.

I'm in Central Texas, anyone recommend a CFI with a 9A in the area?

Thanks,

-Dan

I too have a 9A in North Texas.
I went to Oregon and Mike Seagar. Best training there is.

Default rv9a training

I would recommend taking your transition training the week before you intend to fly your plane. I used Dan Ross in Reno. He does a great job.

Don't limit your transition training to just the -9A. I did mine with an instructor in a -7A. The -9A is easy after that. Just slow everything down a percentage and you will be fine.

I agree with Bruce. My transition training - with approval from my insurance carrier - was done in a 7A. It was VERY educational. If you can land a 7A, a 9A is a cakewalk.

From his website:

RV7-A is no longer available for Transition Training. In the future it will be replaced with an RV14A.

4A.
Maybe. Depends on the FSDO that issued Alex's LODA. Most of them will not allow any endorsements other than 'transition training' (e.g., no Flight Reviews, no high performance, no tailwheel) in an experimental aircraft.
