Building and Flying Info / Your Profession / Other Background Info
I'm a private pilot who hasn't flown in 23 years. I need to get back in the sky! I will be re-certing in the Sport Pilot Category for a variety of reasons. I am also a semi-retired MD.
Welcome to the Zenith Builders and Flyers forums, Scott. I've been a private pilot since 1964, let my special issuance 3rd class medical lapse in 2006, and have been flying as a sport pilot using my California driver license in lieu of a medical certificate. I own a factory built 2008 AMD 601XLi S-LSA which I recently converted to an E-LSA so I could make modifications to it without the manufacturer's approval (which would be problematic since AMD went out of business in 2009).
