This post is part of the story series Getting Your Private Pilot License.
As a glider pilot with about 220 flying hours, I finally decided to take the jump and start my Private Pilot training in June 2018. In this series, I share my experiences of getting my Private Pilot License in Belgium. From preparing for my first lesson, to my first solo flights and ultimately my checkride.
I hope these articles will be able to help you get the most out of your own flight training!
March 31st. Checkride Day.
The past 9,5 months I have been working towards this moment. The written test was behind me and the only thing that’s left is my PPL(A) checkride.
To be completed soon!
