Starting over

Rusty pilot no more

You’ve been here before. Often a student taking flight training is not new to the game.

They may have started lessons when they were younger and the pressures of life, work, and family were less. Or they earned their certificate only to let it lapse because of those same life experiences. Time to fly again? AOPA offers a fun, interactive online course, modeled after our popular Rusty Pilots seminar that gives you all the information you need to get current again. The course uses the scenario of a cross-country flight to help bring you up to speed on hot-button issues such as medical reforms, weather briefings, preflight planning, regulations, and airspace. At the end of the course, you’ll receive FAA WINGS credit to help you toward completing your flight review. Plus, we’ll help you find the flight schools in your area so you can take the next step and quickly get back to active flying status. Best of all, Rusty Pilots Online is free for AOPA members.

This course qualifies for the AOPA Accident Forgiveness and FAA WINGS programs.
