Looking for CFI reference again for the Northeast.

[YankeeClipper]

My current CFI is occupied with some personal matters that are going to take some time to sort out. So I'm once again looking for a CFI that can get me some time building here in the northeast so my blankety blank insurer will get me out of this@#$&*! catch 22. They won't cover me until I have 50 hours in type with a CFI who themselves has 50 hours in type. But it's near impossible to find such a CFI because they can't fly insured until they have those 50 hours.

Any reference is appreciated.

Just to review the state of general aviation today, I have owned my skymaster since 2019 and I have logged a grand total of 18 hours in it.

Instead of looking for a different CFI you might consider looking for a different insurance underwriter. Avemco's open pilot requirements are multi-engine, instrument, 1500TT, 100 ME and 5 make & model. That's far different than 50 for the instructor and 50 to be personally insurable. And as for their named insured, I believe they will accept far less but with a corresponding rate bump. With 18 logged hours it seems you both should be good to go. Probably worth a phone call.

I’m a MEII, A&P, IA and own a 337C. Have around 1,800 hours in all types of Skymasters. I’m happy to help. Need to take a trip somewhere?
