I have scheduled my first flight in a Cessna 172 for the end of January.  Based on my log book it will be 20 years since my last logged flight in a single engine aircraft.  This will be the start of my journey to getting my BFR complete.  I have completed the AOPA Rusty Pilot online course and also did the Sporty’s Pilot Online Flight Review course. I was surprised that I remember most of the information provided in these courses.  The key will be seeing how I do on the actual flying.

Completed Step one today, got my medical.  Since

It has been several year, before 2006, so I was not able to take advantage of the BasicMed option the FAA now allows.  I will post more information on the BasicMed options in a future post.  The one new thing with the medical that I like is filling out the application through the online system prior to going to the appointment.

Now that step one is complete, I am continuing with the online training provided through the AOPA website and a online course I obtained from Sporty’s Pilot.  Look for more information on these two area in another post coming soon.

Time to schedule first flight!
