Why people quit flying?

How do you know if I can be a pilot?

What is a rusty pilot?

An in-person Rusty Pilots seminar allows you to meet and talk with people in the same position you are. These are the reasons the Rusty Pilots seminars have become so popular over the past few years. After attending a Rusty pilots seminar, you’ll receive FAA Wings credits* and an endorsement for your logbook.

Do pilots need to be fit?

The engine of your plane produces constant vibrations and much noise. If you are going to fly, you must be able to tolerate these conditions, and that means you must be physically fit every time you fly. Unless a pilot keeps physically fit, he is likely to have a fatal flying accident sooner or later.

Can pilots have ADHD?

As best I can make out, this is the bottom line for potential pilots with ADHD: ADHD itself is not a disqualifying condition. Yet, if you have a formal diagnosis of ADD or ADHD, you may need to undergo additional testing in order to receive a medical certificate.
