Agenda

Most pilots come to the PPP’s for Mooney-specific flight instruction. Having a high-quality instructor who focuses on Mooneys makes all the difference. Flight training occurs in the pilots’ own aircraft and instructors are matched based on Mooney model experience.

Ground instruction is an essential component for safe operations and our emphasis is on enhanced safety and responsibilities for the Mooney pilot. During the program, participants are given ample opportunity to share experiences with fellow Mooney pilots and our instructors. And, as an added bonus, our ground instruction qualifies for credit in the FAA Wings Program.

Course Topics

Ground and Flight Instruction:

Weight and Balance review
GPS procedures and interpreting Instrument approach charts
How to prevent and handle emergencies
Flying by the Mooney numbers
Decision making and risk management
Legal responsibilities
Night flight
High performance engine management and leaning

When not flying on Saturday and Sunday, time is productively spent with at least the following:

Preflight and systems review
Accident review and prevention
Really getting to know your Mooney

In-flight maneuvers selected to qualify for participation in the FAA Wings program include:

Takeoffs and landings (normal, crosswind, high altitude, emergency)
Slow flight and stalls
Steep turns
Instrument procedures, holding, precision GPS, LOC, VOR and partial panel and loss of communication approaches
Emergencies and critical flight situations
In addition to required maneuvers, flexibility is provided to allow time for any special needs

“A great weekend of refresher training with a friendly crew of pilots."

Note

This typical agenda, of course, is always subject to change based on the specific requirements of each class.
