In an effort to bring pilots who have been away from flying for an extended period back into the cockpit, AOPA has offered courses, aptly named Rusty Pilots, at various locations to bring those pilots back up to speed on the intricacies of flying. More than 23,600 pilots have attended more than 700 of these seminars. Now more out-of-currency pilots will have access to the course now that it’s available online.
