AOPA Rusty Pilots Seminar Coming to Truckee-Tahoe Airport
Aug 06, 2026
Saturday, August 22 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM PDT Truckee, CA
Hosted by Truckee-Tahoe Airport. Instructed by AOPA Foundation Rusty Pilots Presenter Philip Mandel.
Life may have gotten in the way, but the dream of flight can be yours again. Returning to the skies is not as difficult as most rusty pilots think. We are inviting you back in the cockpit and will help you get there. Come and participate in this Rusty Pilots program with fellow lapsed pilots. We will help you understand what’s changed in aviation since you last took the controls and brush up on your aviation knowledge. AOPA developed the Rusty Pilots program in partnership with local flight training providers in order to create the best environment for getting you back in the air and a part of the general aviation community.
- It is easier than most people think – no FAA check ride or test. - You might not even need a medical. - Plus, you’ll get two to three hours of ground instruction toward your flight review!
Note: Complimentary coffee, snacks, and fruit will be available while supplies last. The Red Truck Café in the terminal offers a variety of dining options before and after the seminar, for those interested in a full breakfast or lunch.
Pre-registration is encouraged since seats fill up fast!
*AOPA is proud to offer WINGS credit for attendees at this event! In order to receive credit, be sure to update the WINGS email address associated with your FAASafety.gov account during the registration process.
