Do we have a trike program like this? Members weigh in on AOPA's Rusty Pilot initiative

AOPA’s new Rusty Pilot initiative is a great move to bring lapsed flyers back into the fold and help boost general aviation, according to attendees interviewed at the recent 2014 Sun 'n Fun International Fly-In and Expo in Lakeland, Fla.

 

At it's simplest would be a concerted effort by trike pilots to contact their prior flying buddies, perhaps prior hang gliding pilots, and introduce them to their closest instructor-- maybe have a discounted first flight?

The advantages to the pilot and sport are many!

    i think thats a great idea xc.  instructors could offer a get the winter dust off flight review at reduced price and get there season rolling as well. good for everyone.  since these trike fatality's seem to come in spring time . maybe even a spring cleaning refresher page here on alltrikes. great idea?

    Right, that's the spirit. Many (most) times someone gives reduced price offers, the actual interest / local enthusiams of the advertisement more than pays back in $$ and karma.

    Shaking off the rust in spring is an important issue.  Your CFI's are out there and waiting.  Be careful and use your resources.  I'm looking forward to YFT fixing me  ;)
