Rusty Pilot?

If it’s been a while since you’ve flown, please understand your expectations may be different than a current student.

For example, if the last time you flew was 20 years ago and you had only 100 hours in a C172, your progress will be a lot slower than a current pilot who flies weekly and is just adding his/her tailwheel endorsement. It is quite possible that it may take you 20 or even 30 hours of time to get current and proficient.

We may ask you to get current/proficient in another aircraft before you fly with me. We want to be respectful of your time and investment in flying/training in our aircraft.

About nausea…

Some students will experience nausea during spin or upset recovery training. There are airsick bags in the cockpit. PLEASE let us know if you are feeling ill and we will stop. You may take Dramamine before your flight as you are not acting as the PIC. Should you need to discontinue your flight, we do not offer refunds. If you need a secondary flight to finish, you will be billed for any excess hours of flight/ground time that is allotted for the course.
