Establish A Flying Club?

Establish A Flying Club?

Sure, why not? We'll do it together. Say, call it Robert's Flying Club for now, or if you have a better name, we'll discuss it.
I'm 90 years young now and an old-time pilot, but I'm willing to start over and relearn.
We'll start with Ground School and a small GA airplane, say the Cessna 172, and a small business jet, such as the Eclipse 500.
Then we'll complete the the requirements for a private pilot certificate, take the flight test, and solo. Then a short cross-country flight -only after thoroughly studying the FAA regulations and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). After that, we'll have questions galore - and we'll get the answers.
We'll get into details such as a proper airplane Walkaround Inspection, Preflight Preparation (the key to successful flight), Preflight Weather Briefing, and how to file a Flight Plan.
And then we'll fly some more - and discuss the proper procedures for the actions that we were not so sure of (Some I have to end the sentences with a preposition).
Remember- this is only a start, and we'll cover a multitude of subjects along the way.
If the paperwork gets too heavy, I may have to install a small fee.
Coming on board? Give me a buzz on: roberthshaw@sbcglobal.net.
