Recently I attended a Rusty Pilot session and learned (or re-learned as the case may be) several aspects of our aviating world that laid dormant in my little gray cells for far too long. Although I have been an active presenter of this constructive AOPA educational series for three years, it has been on hold for the past two years and is now being revived.
My ears perked up when the presenter mentioned that AOPA wants to expand the Rusty Pilot concept to the instrument environment with an IFR refresher program. Of course, the “blind flying” group (as we were called in the early days) has had a monthly forum in many parts of the country for over a decade with the EAA sponsored IMC Club. (https://www.eaa.org/IMC). The referenced website can provide the location of a club near you and their meeting time and place. With the advent of the coronavirus, many chapters have been using video conferencing on the internet to continue their sessions.
