I fly in the San Francisco area. Our club is still open but only allowing health/Angel Flight-related activity. No instruction. Unfortunately no solo flights even to maintain currency. The club is looking for a clarification from the authorities on the "shelter-in-place" order to see if solo flights for training, or recreation, are allowed. The club has the usual disinfectant and sanitizers at every corner.

It seems that flying solo, or with someone you share an abode with, is no different from the rule allowing people to drive with the same caveats.

I wonder what this shutdown will do to safety statistics once we all start flying again. We're being told to expect this to last months. If so, lots of rusty pilots.

My daughter us at college right now and says that Gen-Z'ers are calling this the "Bye, Bye Boomer" virus.
