Back to Your Roots

Back to Your Roots is part of the AOPA Foundation's You Can Fly initiative, but designed for people who fly or used to fly for a living. We all know why someone would want to return to GA flying for recreational and pleasure purposes. The question is, how do you go about returning? Whether you want to teach people to fly again, take people on their first GA flight, vacation, or return to the fun and adventure of flying, the path to return is the same, and we're here to help you.

The Back to Your Roots webinar will cover the areas you may have forgotten: regulations, VFR weather minimums, how to get a VFR weather briefing, airspace, radio communications, including the concept of flight following, a review of sectional charts, pilot-controlled airport operations, and more

Our presenters will demonstrate how easy it is to transition to flying for fun. Back to Your Roots is free for AOPA members and $89 (plus a 5% credit card processing fee) for non-members.

Once you attend our webinar, find a flight school here. Schedule a few lessons with a good CFI, and you will be flying just for fun again before you know it.
