IFR Ticket

[Pat Schmitz]

Getting my Instrument rating has always been the plan, but finding someone who can instruct in my plane has turned out the be the problem. I do have a CFI friend, who has flown with me countless times in the 337... In fact, he often comes with, as my safety pilot.

The problem has been that he cannot use my plane for his checkout - due to my insurance restrictions.

See the dilemna here?? I absolutely do not want to take my instrument training in someone else's conventional Multi... both due to cost, and lack of availability in this area.

When you mentioned that someone who has a SE Instrument could get the ME rating and begin using the instrument.... It sounded like a possible solution to my problem. I do have access to my old 182, and could use it to finish my instrument ticket and checkride if that instrument rating could be used in my 337.
