Learning to fly |
Finally - I'm realising my lifelong dream of flying. The local
Ottawa Flying Club is only 15 Minutes
away with the car. After an introductory flight in February I signed
up for ground-school and flying lessons. Here are a few pictures
showing this endeavour.

A few pictures looking down the apron
And after flight on 25th of March - my instructor Farz (the right guy)
at the refueling-pump
Here are some plane impressions. These C150s are all younger
than 1980 ... that's quite young for a fleet :)
Interested in my achievements? Have a look at Canadian paperwork :)
August 13 - It's Solo Cross Country Time - I have to fly legs of more than 25NM and get
some time in my logbook. Yesterday I flew from Ottawa (CYOW) to Kingston (CYGK) to
Arnprior (CNP3) and back (2.9 hours). I had my camera with me but was too busy finding the
way :).
Today I flew to Cornwall (CYCC) to Brockville (CNL3) and back (2.3 hours) - AND I managed
to fly and take a few pictures :)
My organized cockpit :) - and view to the right and left (note the reflection of the white/red
shirt ... that's really an old one) - then view to the left after takeoff from Cornwall. You can
see the Lawrence River and the USA on the other side.
Next a view direction Brockville further to the west - after
crossing-over from the downwind - turning base - I'm too busy on
final for more pictures :)
After talking to trsa and tower I'm crossing approach of 07 and
then coming up for a direct-in on 04
September 19 - it's been done. I'm a pilot now and finally got
my license.
