I have a private rating and about 150 Hrs, mostly in Cessna 150s & 172s, and I have also flown Gyrocopters. Lots of night flying in my logbook.

I heard that for the average recreational pilot, your skills are at a peak the day you test for your license and it's downhill from there unless you keep up on your advanced training. I quit flying when I realized I was only flying 1-2 times a month, that is not enough to stay sharp. If I ever have the time/money I would definitely like to resume flying.

I have had an in-flight engine failure and the subsequent emergency landing (at an airport), so I have that experience out of the way.
