Aviation Adventures is pleased to announce the 2019 edition of the VFR Rusty Pilot course, scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2019 at the EAA 186 Chapter House on 10629 Observation Road, Manassas, VA 20110. The Chapter House is located adjacent to the Control Tower on the west side of the airport. The course will be taught from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. This course served in large part as the inspiration for the AOPA Rusty Pilots program, which has enjoyed national success!
The VFR Rusty Pilot course is designed for pilots that have been out of the cockpit for a few years, active pilots that would like to get up to speed on new developments in Part 91 flying, and student pilots working towards their Private or Commercial certificates. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow pilots and receive a comprehensive refresher course on various topics that are essential to operating aircraft under Visual Flight Rules in the Washington DC SFRA and beyond. We plan to discuss the following topics:
Pilot Experience, Responsibilities, and Cautions
Airworthiness, Maintenance, and Inspections
Airports, Airspace, and SFRA Procedures
Aviation Weather Products and Flight Planning
Aeronautical Decision Making and Risk Management
The course costs $60, but the first 5 active members of EAA Chapter 186 that sign up receive free admission. At the conclusion of the VFR Rusty Pilot course, you will receive a certificate of completion indicating that you have satisfied the ground instruction requirement for the flight review per FAR 61.56. The certificate will be accepted by any Aviation Adventures CFI within six months of the course.
If you would like to attend, please register by sending an email to hnrlee71@gmail.com or by calling the Aviation Adventures Manassas office at 703-530-7737 with your name, email address, and a preferred phone number.
