AOPA developed the Back to Your Roots online course to accommodate the busy schedules of professional pilots and retired professional pilots who want to return to general aviation flying for recreation and pleasure.
The course is accessible 24/7 and free for AOPA members. It's designed to help you identify areas that may require additional review before you begin flying a small airplane with an instructor.
By completing the course, you'll earn a certificate of completion and nine FAA WINGS credits. COMING SOON: This course also qualifies for the AOPA Accident Forgiveness program.
What will be covered:
- Regulations including VFR minimums
- How to get a weather briefing
- Airspace
- Radio communications
- Flight Following
- Sectional charts
- Pilot controlled airport operations
- And much more
If you wish to log out of the course and return later, close the course window, go to AOPA.org and log out of your AOPA account.
