Back to Your Roots was created to help professional pilots and retired professional pilots return to flying for fun. Whether it's so you can fly with your family and friends, or to teach people to fly, the thought of returning to flying small GA aircraft can be daunting. The AOPA Back to Your Roots course highlights the things you may have forgotten. We cover VFR weather minimums, how to get a VFR weather briefing, airspace, radio communications, including the concept of flight following, a review of sectional charts, pilot-controlled airport operations, and more. Then we'll help you with a plan to return to GA flying.The Back to Your Roots course is free for AOPA members. Not an AOPA member?
