Does anyone in the DFW area have experience in a Grumman aircraft? I don't have a specific model but most probably a civilian light single engine type. Someone called me looking for a CFI that has experience in those aircraft (and I don't). If you're interested PM me and I'll give you the number.
CFI needed today - DFW area - Grumman AA5 traveler
- Thread starter Nanopilot
- Start date

Give us a review of the flight. I flew with an AA-5 owner and he refused to do stalls. Apparently they have a reputation for nasty stalls.

he's a retired b52 / helo pilot...
never flown small planes.. anyway, it was fun. he's a funny guy. he has the "treat me like a new student" attitude... so thats good. i was like, well, wanna see a stall? "sure"
no problem with the stalls... i did 1 he did 2.
he really just wanted to work on landings. he's got 20,000 hours in heavy jets and helos.
he worked on some landings, and it was all fine. he's really hard on himself, which is good i guess.... but really wasnt a problem, a bit more practice and he'll be good to go. which means i'll be jobless again..... ahhhh the life of a CFI... lol or at least i'll be out of THIS particular job...

Ahh, the AA-1. Just remember "100". Rotate at 100, cruise at 100, approach at 100, land at 100.
