Is there anyone in SC providing transition training?

 

[AltonD]

closest one I know of is Jan Bussell in Okeechobee, Fl.

Very patient instructor. He has both a tail dragger and a nose roller RV6.

Kent Gorton, near Atlanta

I've signed up with Kent Gorton. I found his name recommended here on VAF.

"He is located at Mallard Creek Airport near Atlanta and has a RV6 set up for training. http://www.kentgortonairsports.com"

I think Pierre Smith also does it in Georgia.

Best,

Transition training in SC

It looks like I will be traveling to GA or FL. Thanks for the reply.

I tried recently and never got any response to phone calls or emails to Kent Gorton.

I am surprised Kent did not reply. He was out of the country from 10 to 16 Apr on a boat sailing but I spoke with him today twice and he answered his phone right away.

Kent is back

Kent was away on vacation. I'll see him in the morning (starting my transition training) and let him know you were asking.

 

[gnuse]

Thanks anyway. He never responded and I don't have the need any longer.

George - Kent said he tried calling back and there was no answer. I don't know anythingfurther. Glen you've found training.

I had my first day of transition training with Kent today. Boy is he patient! My biggest unexpected challenge was speed transgressions. The RV can gain and lose 10kts in the blink of an eye. Definitely more attention tomorrow!
