Title:
How Do I Know When I am Too Old to Fly?
Topic:
When to Stop Flying - How Do I Know When I Am Too Old?
Speaker(s):
Rhon Williams
Brief Description:
Many of us have seen a pilot friend who we worry that they no longer have "the right stuff". Some of us are seeing in ourselves hints that aging may be catching up to us. There is definitely a time when we should turn in the keys, and enjoy telling stories instead of wondering if we are still safe. But, how do we know? This presentation will address the physiological aspects of aging and how they affect being a pilot, with ideas of how we will know when to stop flying as PIC.
