Pilot/CFI needed for Saratoga SP checkout

Purchasing a Turbo Saratoga SP in nasvhille in the next month and need a 1 hr checkout. I'm a highly experienced corporate pilot/check airman and just need an hour in make and model to satisfy insurance.

    Hi Jeff,

    From a quick internet search I found the following:

    Key Providers for Piper Saratoga (PA-32) Training:

    • Bartelt Aviation (Sturgis, MI): Offers dedicated 3-day, comprehensive initial and recurrent training programs for the Piper Saratoga.
    • Gulf Coast Aviation (Houston, TX): Features a Piper Saratoga (N43WW) in their fleet for instruction.
    • Shoreline Aviation (Marshfield, MA): Lists a Piper Saratoga SP.
    • Legacy Flight Training (Vero Beach, FL & Scottsdale, AZ):Specializes in Piper aircraft training, including high-performance models. 

    Not in the Nashville immediate area, but another possibility is to check the local Nashville area flight schools to see if a flight instructor with past Saratoga experience might be willing to travel with you to pick up your aircraft, and provide the training needed even though the local school does not have the aircraft. Might also contact NAFI to see if they know of anyone who can help. Here is a link:

  • Thanks, I've been in touch with Bartlett, they want to train in the plane, but I want to get my training ahead of time. I will check the others.
