    Texas is rumored to be a large state, you might want to narrow it down to "within 100 miles of Pilotsville".
    Here is a possible resource:

    Also, if you are rated in category and class, there are no FARs requiring a checkout in a new type of same category/class, but most would agree it's a good idea to spend a few hours with a pilot who is experienced in a Tri-Pacer, like the seller.
    If you have 200 hours in a 172, you can probably fly a Tri-Pacer no problem, with some guidance from a Tri-Pacer competent pilot.
    Use your good judgement here!
    I think to satisfy your insurance you may need to get checked out with a CFI.

    If you do find a CFI to fly with to satisfy your insurance etc, might as well make it a BFR if it makes sense with your currency calendar and your budget.

    Good luck,

    We brought "Queenie" home 3 weeks ago! PA 22-135. Did my 1 hour of dual required by insurance so now I'm a TriPacer CFI/CFII and a TriPacer A&P/AI in the Houston Area!
