If you are over 55, understand that it helps if you are in pretty good physical shape.
If you are over 55, understand that it helps if you are in pretty good physical shape. There will be times you may have to climb up on a high wing aircraft like a Cessna 172 to check the fuel in the tanks or add fuel to the tanks. You will most likely have to pull the plane out of a hangar or parking as well as put it back. Spend some time lifting some weights and do some aerobic exercise (I walk three miles a day and do lift weights three days a week).
