Synopsis
Flying after 50: You're Not Too Old to Start is an encouraging introduction to the joys and nuts and bolts of soaring in command of an aircraft. "Now that we've gotten most of life's heavy lifting behind us," writes LeMenager, "it's our turn to know what it's like to be free as a bird."
In this book, the reader will meet many "seasoned citizens" who became pilots, including a woman who conquered her fear of heights and became a flyer in her 50s, a man in his 60s who flies sailplanes despite heart bypass surgery, and an 80-year-old doctor who regularly flies his own plane to Mexico where he volunteers his medical services.
LeMenager details the certificates and training needed to start, medical requirements, flight schools and instructors, and flying safety. He also describes types of small aircraft and the variety of ways that you can fulfill that dream to fly - in gliders, parasails, ultralights, or balloons. He explores the adventure of building your own plane and covers many of the associations and clubs that offer support and adventure for flyers of all ages, interests, and skill levels.
