Default Has it been too long?

The last time I logged hours was December 28, 2004. This is because I am a full time college student away from home and the only planes in the town I am in are Cherokees, and they are quite old. I checked out in them, but am not too comfortable with them. The next time I will be able to fly is over the Summer at the beggining of May. Should I get an instructor to go up with me for a little while? I am confident with my abilities, I am just curious because it seems like such a long time.

Couldn't hurt. Plus a lot of flight schools require at least a pattern checkout if you haven't flown with them in over 2 months.

If you feel your rusty in your skills, go with an instructor. I haven't flown since about August of last year, so I'm not going anywhere near an aircraft by myself for the time being.

Simple: if you had to ask, you should go up with an instructor.
