I'm now at 70 hours, 17 years of age, and got my private at 62 hours in February in a Cessna 172s. Now that I only fly a few times a month, I'm on my toes as much as I was when I first started. It's unbelievable what time can do to a pilot's sharpness and attention to detail. Your and Steveo's videos are amazing examples of good and bad examples of flying and I love it. Thank you.

I humbly thank you for showing more and more videos of Rusty Pilots! When I see this gent in a top of the line Cirrus after a long absence, it gives me hope! I have about 200 hours in C172's and flew a lot in the late 90's....but life got busy, work, mortgage...and here I am now, getting back into the groove. Found my local flying club is struggling to gain members...they have tapped into my Information Tech brain, made me their club secretary and working on getting them a Facebook page, building a website and working on bringing in new pilots, rusty pilots and so on! Going from 172 to low-wing Cherokee will take some getting used to....but small steps....again, thank you for your videos inspiring us "not quite old guys" into getting back into it!

I want to back up the ditching near boats. In the summer of 2010, I was on a research ship north of Key West when the Coast Guard requested our assistance for a downed aircraft along the same route you took. We traveled 50 miles (5 hours) and located the pilot (sole occupant) within 10 minutes of arriving in the area. Pilot had treaded water for the entire five hours with no PFD. Very lucky pilot and it still gives me chills when I remember the jubilant hug he gave me when I pulled him aboard our rescue boat.

Niko, I can think of only ONE thing that WOULD be better than sharing a flight with old, rusty pilots, and that's Angel Flight. Sharing your airplane with a patient who needs medical care and can't afford the transportation costs to a location that's not local. I've said in other videos, if I ever win the lottery (haven't checked tonights numbers yet), I want to get back into flying, get the rest of my ratings, and hook up with Angel Flight as a pilot. Buy something like a Malibu or a 340A to keep the passenger comfortable, and donate my charitable funds that way. But, yeah, as one of those people who hasn't flown as PIC in 40 years, I really do appreciate what Jim is doing.

Jim is super organized and as a CFI, that’s very encouraging to see. Just a few things to consider. “November” can always be omitted from your call sign but definitely keep saying “Cirrus” as it helps other pilots know what to look for. During the runup, when checking the flight controls, you’ve got to actually look and see that the correct aileron is going up and down. If you don’t, how are you verifying that they’re “free” (not binding) and “correct” (appropriately deflecting)? I’m discouraged to see the amount of autopilot usage. If you want your stick and rudder skills to stay sharp, you’ve got to hand fly.

Awesome video guys! @flightchops that funky turn given to you guys when contacting departure I believe is for identifying your radar signature. The controller said she did “not observe” you guys on departure and she must use one of 6 methods to identify the primary/second radar target. The turn ensures she is talking to the right aircraft who called 😊 happy flying guys and what a great planning sheet!

During the 2003 Centennial of Flight at Dare County airport there was a demonstration of proof of concept of flying through the boxes. On the ground we watched a live feed of an airplane flying in actual IMC. It was real time so when the aircraft made his approach and went missed we saw it on the monitor in the terminal. There was zero lag between the aircraft and the monitor. It was amazing then and amazing now to see it in the cockpits.

Mine is a similar story. I dropped out of flying about 35 years ago, when the sailboat racing bug bit me. I had accumulated almost a thousand hours in various rentals, an owned 1947 Stinson 108-2, and an owned Cessna Cardinal RG. I hold a Commercial with SEL, MEL, and instrument ratings. A couple of months ago I decided that 79 was not too old to start flying again. I've got about 9 hours of dual in a light sport Flight Design CTLS. It is a comfortable little 2-place, a little squirrelly to land, but otherwise a joy to fly. And, with the help of Flight Chops and other KZitemrs am starting to really feel comfortable again.

Phil, I very much understand about the money, all too well at the moment. I've been unemployed for the better part of three years now. As to an actual flying job, we both may be too old for that (I"m 60), but given the finances, I would most certainly get current again, and pursue the rest of my ratings just because I love flying. Even if you didn't do anything more than getting your PPL for those $200 hamburgers, it would be a good thing. Look into the Sport Pilot license, something that's most likely a lot newer than when you last flew. There are a number of LSAs, or Light Sport Airplanes out there that are great day, VFR short trip airplanes you could easily master. Yeah, I get the money, but I rather suspect if you're working and have a little bit of spare income, you could get back into it.

Sadly, I could not afford a plane with all that whiz-bang stuff unless i decided to forgo house, food, and healthcare.

I kinda don't like people boasting the Cirrus is the safest as it kinda makes a double edge sword. The nice avionics and all that makes everything nice easy and right there for you, as well as the FADEC system. Plus you get the parachute and all that which is great, but if you move to another aircraft you might be easily behind and missing some skills. Which isn't an issue as long as the pilot is aware of that, but many may not take that into account. I think if someone is trained Cirrus only, they should have that be almost restriction due to the amount of safety systems that aren't in other aircraft.
