While I am unfortunately far from being ready for RV transition training, I

think it is a very important part of the building process. I won't fly my

plane until I've gotten it, and I recommend that others take it.



I thought I should add a new page to my web site called Transition Training,

and populate it with info on all the people offering RV transition training.

Back when I started building, I think Mike Seager was the only one doing it.

But I know there are at least several more doing it now.



So, if you do RV transition training or know of someone who does, please

reply to this message with some basic info:



name of CFI and/or company

location

contact info

web site, if applicable

tailwheel or trigear

RV model

other info, such as your impression of the training, if you received it



If you don't know all the above info, just submit what you do know. Thanks

for your input. This will help all of us.

Brian,

I heartily reccommend Jan Bussell for transition training. He is located 

near the Okeechobee, Florida airport (OBE). I took my transition 

training in February 2005 in his RV-6A. He also has an RV-6. After that 

several hours with Jan, my first flight in my own RV-6A was almost a non 

event. Everything was familiar with no surprises. I had not flown during 

my 5 years of building except to get a couple of biennial flight reviews 

in Cessna 152 and 172s. He is an excellent instructor. You can find out 

details including  how to contact him at:  

http://www.safeair1.com/RVTT/JB_Aframe.htm



Regards,



Richard Dudley

I've created a new page with pointers to the VAF page, as well as additional

sources such as this one.   If anyone has more, please email me about it.

I think there was someone in NC doing it a year or so ago, so if anyone has

that name, please let me know



Thanks,

brian

Unfortunately, the VAF list is woefully incomplete.  There are MANY more

pilots providing transition training now.  I'm not sure how to round them

all up other than a "plea" like Brian has done. One example is Dan

Cunningham in Alabama who trains in a 9A.

Dan Cunningham is on the VAF list, that is how I found him and got my transition training from him

I’ll add you to my list  

When I’m ready for my training, even though you are the furthest possible from me, maybe I’ll come to you (sure can’t beat that SD weather!)

 We shouldn't have to round them up.  If anyone out there is giving or  knows someone giving transition training, please provide me their info and  I will add them into the Yeller Pages.  That is what it is for.

  

 I can't imagine anyone providing this important service (who  presumably would like to get even more business than they are currently  getting) and would not want to be listed in the most public RV listings  possible.

No need, just copy and paste off that page and stick 'em on yours. Sounds

like a good project and probably would be easier folks to have them all on

one page somewhere rather than just links pointing all over the place.

Hey All...



I do have a new site I have  been working on that we could use for this...



www.wheelsup.org - Click on databases and the  flight instructors / transition training... 



Its a pretty new site so I  don't have a lot of data, very little actually, but there is a link at the top  of the page that will allow you to submit your information to be added tot he  database...



Thanks!

-Bill

Bob, 



Are you moving to NC?  I was planning on flying with you out of Longmont once I complete my -7.   NC is a long way to travel to get instruction...
