My insurance asked me to get model specific training.
Heard there was a person that can instruct in a RV-6A in Leesburg.
Anybody have a contact?
I'm at EZF, and I cannot think of anybody near me.

"Model Specific" training for an RV-6A has generally been regarded as RV-6A or RV-7A, maybe even RV-9A. This is where your agent Kyle needs to lean on the carrier to see if they will be ok with a looser definition of model specific. That will open up your transition training options. Also clarify if they are insisting on formalized transition training with a CFI or will accept seat time in an RV with an owner/pilot.

Global was willing to count 9A hours as equivalent to 8A time for me, which I think is a little wild. May have something to do with it being harder to get transition training from an instructor willing to sit in back with no brakes.
