Rusty no more
It’s never too late to start again
The AOPA Rusty Pilots initiative is designed to help inactive pilots return to flying as quickly and safely as possible. Our motto is, “Once a Pilot, Always a Pilot.” The Rusty Pilots program offers fun, interactive courses that give you all the information you need to get current again. In our in-person seminars dynamic presenters bring you up to speed on hot-button issues such as medical reform, weather briefings, preflight planning, FARs, and airspace.
AOPA offers three Rusty Pilots educational tracks. You can attend a Rusty Pilots in-person seminar; webinar; take the self-paced online course; or you can do all three. By completing a Rusty Pilots seminar or webinar,you earn a logbook endorsement attesting that you’ve completed two hours of ground training toward your flight review, as well as FAA Basic Knowledge Wings credits. By completing the Rusty Pilots online course, you earn a course completion certificate that you can share with your flight instructor, as well as FAA Basic Knowledge Wings credits.In either case, AOPA helps you map out the next step in returning to flying.
The Rusty Pilots courses are a free AOPA member benefit and can be taken/attended as often as you like at no charge. Non-members may joinAOPA and enjoy all the other benefits of being a member in addition to being able to participate in any of the Rusty Pilots formats or they may pay $89 each (plus a 5-percent processing fee) to attend. The online course is only available for AOPA members.
