A pilot's journey is rarely a straight line. We all experience different seasons, pauses, and shifts in our flying careers.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to the AOPA and our Rusty Pilot presenter, Mark Boguski, for partnering with us. Most importantly, thank you to all of our guests who took the time to complete the course today—we hope it brought you one step closer to getting back in the left seat.

Instructed by AOPA Foundation Rusty Pilots Presenter Mark Boguski. 👨‍✈️

Life may have gotten in the way, but the dream of flight can be yours again. Returning to the skies is not as difficult as most rusty pilots think. We are inviting you back in the cockpit and will help you get there. Come and participate in this Rusty Pilots program with fellow lapsed pilots. We will help you understand what’s changed in aviation since you last took the controls and brush up on your aviation knowledge. AOPA developed the Rusty Pilots program in partnership with local flight training providers in order to create the best environment for getting you back in the air and a part of the general aviation community.

- It is easier than most people think – no FAA check ride or test.
- You might not even need a medical.
- Plus, you’ll get two to three hours of ground instruction toward your flight review!

Pre-registration is encouraged since seats fill up fast! ⬇️
