Free Complex/High Performance Ground School

Recently I have received numerous inquiries from pilots transitioning into complex or high performance aircraft. Some have purchased airplanes that their insurance  requires training and an endorsement from a CFI prior to them to flying solo or with passengers. A few are commercial certificate candidates, the balance just want to be able to fly airplanes with retractable landing gear, controllable propellers or more than 200 horsepower engines

I use Advisory Circular 61-103 as a guideline and the GAMA specification 5 syllabus to transition folks into complex and high performance aircraft which usually requires a few hours of ground school for each candidate.

As I was going over the material for the fourth time,with a different owner/operator in as many weeks,I started thinking that perhaps there is an easier way to conduct the training.

That's when it hit me. Why don't I just offer a complex/ high performance ground school and and give it away for free. Thats right FREE- zip, nada, nothing, nunca.

We'd cover the material in a two hour session after work one weeknight. And we would do it a few times based on different airplanes. Have a Mooney night, a Bonanza night, Cessna, Cirrus, Piper, you get the picture.

I have yet to work out the logistics so at this point I'm testing the waters to see if there would be an interest amongst the folks who find themselves reading this.

I was also thinking about having guest instructors who would handle certain chapters to mix it up and keep it interesting

Naturally to be effective we would limit the number of participants at each session and present the attendee's with a certificate of attendance if they came or a completion certificate if they took a written test at the end.

We'll do the first few off of a drawing that you can enter by liking Motion Simulations LLC on Facebook. I've included the link in the over on the left. To be considered just click the find us on facebook button and press like when you're on the Motion Simulaitons Facebook page. If you aren't facebook enabled send an email to FreeGroundSchool@fullmotionflight.com to be entered for the drawing.

Either way I think it would be great way to get everyone thinking about flying aand learning when spring time finally arrives.
