Once a pilot, always a pilot...But, if you're feeling a little Rusty...

You might be like more than 500,000 other pilots (that's right, half a million), who have taken a break from flying.  The good news is that getting back to flying is easier than you think.  So, what does it take to get back in the air?

  • Some flight and ground instruction
  • No FAA checkride or test
  • You may not even need a medical

Join us for a fun, interactive seminar that will give you all the information you need to get current again.  As a seminar participant, you'll get 3 hours of ground instruction toward completing your flight review, valuable take-home materials, and handouts so you can review what you've learned. We'll help you brush up on your aviation knowledge and understand what's changed since you last took the controls.

Rusty Pilots is created by AOPA and hosted by local flight training providers.
