CERTIFIED FLIGHT
INSTRUCTORS
Before issuing coverage, most insurance
companies are requiring dual in a Navion from a
certified flight instructor with experience flying
Navions.
The American Navion Society does not presently employ
or recommend flight instructors, however, following is a
list of persons who have indicated they have experience
flying Navions and are willing to provide flight
instruction.
This
list will be updated periodically, so if you wish to be
included please e-mail your name, phone number, and
address or general area to rjnavion@ptsi.net
