Key Takeaways:

A free online presentation, "#MasteryNotMinimums," will provide tools and tips for flight instructors assisting airline pilots in transitioning back to general aviation aircraft.
The program addresses the intimidation factor experienced by both CFIs (due to the airline pilot's experience) and airline pilots (due to forgotten skills and different aircraft characteristics).
Led by aviation experts Gary Reeves and Les Abend, the session aims to help instructors empower airline pilots to return to GA faster, more confidently, and ultimately earn a "GA Type Rating."

One of the best parts of being a flight instructor is when you help someone return to the cockpit—it can be intimidating, however, when that someone is an airline pilot who wants to fly general aviation aircraft again. CFIs and airline pilots who wish to return the fold can get some tips for making this happen at a free online #MasteryNotMinimums presentation designed to give instructors and airline pilots the tools they need to make the transition.

The presenters are Gary Reeves, 2019 Instructor of the Year, and retired American Airlines pilot and FLYING Magazine contributor Les Abend.
