The FARS state that the first 40 hours must be accomplished with only required flight crew. An instructor is required flight crew. Besides the folks reccommended I suggest Major Doug Dodson of the Edwards AF Test Pilot School. Work number 661-277-5607. He flew up to San Francisco with Gale, his wife and we had a marvelous weekend of instruction and sociable comapany. Doug is one of the best instructors I have had since Marge at Ameilia Aviation at Ried Hillview. Something to be said for the methodical nature of the Air Force training regieme. BTW I am in SF I would like to visit your project some time Please Email so we could get together.
