Looking for some recommendations for some aerobatic training in Northern California/Bay Area.
Got my PPL, got a 182 with just over 100 hours in it...gonna start instrument rating in the coming months but thinking I would like to get a bit of aerobatic training in first for two reasons:
1) Build up more skills and confidence in actually FLYING a plane and know how and what to to in the event of unusual attitude in normal flight.
2) To know what my 182 can really do and how to handle it....not that it is rated for aerobatic nor would I be training or doing any aerobatics in it, but would like to then take some of that training with an aerobatic CFI and really put my plane through some paces more than straight and level flight...again, with the idea of building up experience and confidence in how it reacts and responds to different situations. Flying is easy when everything goes RIGHT!
3)OK, three reasons...looks like a freakin blast!
Not planning on training for the Red Bull races or to preform in airshows, but looking for a few lessons to learn some skills (and hopefully not get hooked and somehow justify ANOTHER plane for aerobatics!)
Any recommendations in the area? Fly outta KWVI, but I can fly in to any Nor Cal location for some sessions.
