    WOOT!: I am...

    Not the first episode of a new series, but close: I am a pilot!

    Yes, I passed my practical exam just this afternoon!



    After a flight of merely 2 hours 30 minutes, he considered my performance was good enough! We first did a couple of touch and goes, then manoevres (steep turn, stalls, ...), followed by a navigation.

    Now I only have to arrange some administrative paperwork to obtain the piece of paper, and I'm good to go!

                              Thanks guys!

                              Next step is to fly in the C-150, initially small navigations solo and bigger navigation with another clubmember/pilot.
                              I'm currently planning the rating for Piper (4 seat, low-wing) somewhere early next year. And perhaps after that night VFR (flying at night: it is an interesting backup + helps to improve daylight flying). I'm not sure yet, but IFR (instrument flying: blind!) is interesting, but quite a lengthy course.
