Hello everyone,
This is mainly for the CFI's of the board, but I'm looking for some advice on what to expect to become current again.
A little bit about myself: I have 100 hours in Cessnas from about 10 years ago (PPL only, working into IFR), and about 100 hours in R22's from about 8 months ago (PPL & IFR).
I'd like to get back into just flying for fun and taking the family on short fun trips and my first question is how much I should budget and expect to fly to become comfortable flying a Cessna again. I will discuss this with the flight school and a CFI in the near future, but wanted to get an unbiased answer on how to prepare myself to make it as efficient and safe as possible.
Any particular maneuvers and knowledge that will be expected of me that I should focus on? How many hours would it take for the average pilot? Ground school? Any recommendations and advice to bring me up to speed?
Thanks!
