REFLECTOR: Transition training

[Ron Brown]

It took me about 2.8 hours of air work with Nathan.  I was current in my 172 
(I flew it 35 hours in the 12 months prior to the transition training).

Nathan said a lot of pilots come to him with very little recent flying time 
and are pretty rusty with just the basics like slow flight, steep turns, 
etc.  It will take rusty pilots longer.  Pilots with recent complex time 
probably can get checked out in less time than I had.
