Tuesday Oct 7th EAA92 General Meeting:
How Do I Know I Am Too Old to Fly?
with Rhon Williams
Many of us have seen a pilot friend who we worry no longer has “the right stuff”. Some of us are seeing in ourselves hints that aging may be catching up to us. There is definitely a time when we should turn in the keys, and enjoy telling stories instead of wondering if we are still safe. But, how do we know? This presentation will address the physiological aspects of aging and how they affect being a pilot, with ideas of how we will know when to stop flying as PIC.
