Are there any restrictions on receiving advanced flying lessons, beyond private pilot (i.e.
instrument rating), in a single yoke aircraft such as an old Bonanza with a throw-over yoke?

Thanks,
Joe

Joe-

Yes.

Check this site for some details www.bppp.org they have a single yoke instruction waiver for their events. Also, some of the instructors listed have a waiver through their FSDO. As far as I know it requires a private with HP/Complex endorsements completed and most importantly an instructor who feels comfortable enough with you as a student.

It is also possible to rent/buy a dual yoke for a Bonanza and this might end up being the simplest solution. Try placing an ad on www.beechtalk.com.

I hope this helps-
