I'll get the popcorn out. MNSHO is.. So I would recommend complete checkout in aircraft and systems (10-20 hours including ground) and acro instruction (competent instructor) prior to ANY acro. I'd recommend high performance/complex/retract sign off before or during initial instruction No minimum hours TT or in complex.. The aircraft is a trainer, it isn't difficult to fly, however the systems are complex and need to insure they understand them and can aviate ahead of the airplane. Prior experience in non-yak/CJ aircraft will not convert much. I received my check out in the Yak-52 with 10 hours (non-CFI) from someone with lots of time in the yak. I had 150 TT and 10-15 hours complex/retract. The real question for low time pilots in the CJ/Yak would be initial instruction in the aircraft AND how often they fly to stay current. <50 hours a year is really pushing the low side. I'd like to see lots of time over the first year to maintain current in the aircraft. Insurance would probably cover the above recommendation without issue. the price may be higher than if you had a bunch of folks that all had 500+ TT with lots of complex/retract time. Maybe you ask the lower time person/people to pay the delta, but I still think it would be less than $900 (delta) a year than someone with lots of time. Cost of liability would be in the 180-300 range.. Cost of hull would be in the 1500-2500 range depending on hull value. My original insurance quote (first year) was for around $2900 (but that was for a yak-52 at 50k hull value and a 150 hour TT pilot back in 1997) Hull value for the CJ would be higher I have a high hull value but reasonable rates due to 1300 hours in yaks/CJs so I may be off.

If u suggest a number, they assume that to be the starting point. I pay 1500 and that includes fly-by at air shows. $65k hull. Canon ins offers discounts on warbird insurance if u complete certain traini ng. Please don't do us any favors and open that box. If you feel u must start this, talk to EAA, AOPA, RPA and get info from them first. They have all been down that road.

The CJ6A is such a classically-flying aircraft I would gladly use it to instruct in primary flight training if I could. I learned to fly in a C-182 and I think that the CJ6A would be even easier to learn to fly. Other than having a few more knobs to push/pull, it is no more difficult to fly than a mid-range Cessna. It just means that one spends a bit more time on cockpit procedures, primarily in ground school but of course in the pattern as well. I taught my own son to fly in our Piper Clipper which was *WAAAAAY* more difficult than the CJ6A to fly. And consider that the Chinese teach primary flight training in it. Our own military has used a variation of the T34 for 50 years. No reason we couldn't do the same thing. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 brian@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 06:27:30 PM PST US Subject: Re: Yak-List: Yak/CJ minimum requirements From: Bill Geipel It's like getting your private pilots lic.

(Some people should never get in an airplane). But ten 10 hours seem to be normal to me for a typical rated pilot. The CJ & Yak require a little m ore time for a zero time guys to learn than say a Cub/Champ, requiring bett er understanding of their systems. However one thing for certain, an instr uctor who does not cover the total stall series in either aircraft is tanta mount to being a killer. In all the military around the world, usually the ones whom are taught to f ly are above average. Most military's have carefully controlled training p rograms to get students to the solo phase, with integrated steps, to advanc ed levels. Here that isn't always true in our private sector. Something a re missed or skipped. I really believe that we've suffered some fatalitie s because of lapes in training. These like almost all other aircraft are s low, cross controled, low altitude, spin entries. The bain of the low time pilot, miss trained pilot.
