Note: This album is best viewed on a large screen or device. Captions will cover the picture on small mobile devices.
More of the planes, the people, and the places associated with flying & teaching in Cirrus and other aircraft. During this segment of time, I continued flying the Airbus A-320 series in my airline job (having upgraded to Capt. by this point). My teaching activities still focused mainly on Cirrus and Swift aircraft, plus some other general aviation aircraft as opportunities arose.

The Snow Belt
The start of a winter ferry flight from Wi to Fargo, ND in Feb. 2016 in an SR-22TN (Gen. 3).
BonusJet Type Rated
In Mar. 2016, I completed a Type Rating in the Comp-Test TsT-14J BonusJet, motor-glider. Shaking hands with my instructor (right) and my flight examiner (left) in Moriarty, NM after successfully completing the checkride.
Mustang Avionics Teaching
Prior to departing NorCal in a Cessna CE-510 Mustang in Mar. 2016. An airplane type that I've given advanced avionics training to a few owner/pilots in over the years.
Going SubSonex!
One of many press photos taken for several magazine articles I wrote for my year-long Sonex Aircraft project in Mar. 2016. I had passed my checkride for the SUBSONX Type Rating earlier that day, in New Mexico.
Another New Swift Pilot
In April 2016, Roger completed his Swift transition training with me. He's borrowed this 210hp Super Swift, as he was still completing his own 180hp Super Swift restoration at the time.
Grass Strips & Piper Cubs
Throughout the summer of 2016, I returned to my early days as a CFI and did a fair bit of tailwheel teaching in a J-3 Cub. I'd forgotten how cramped the instructor seat is in a J-3! Lots of fun, nonetheless.
Failure Modes
Teaching avionics failure modes in a SR-22T in Sept. 2016. Better for the first time a pilot sees this to be during training, than during real world operations.
Transition Training in an Swift
Taken in Manitowoc, WI at the completion of a client transition training in a 145hp 1948 GC-1B Swift. Fun flying a "non Super" Swift, for a change.
LOW Density Altitude
