🛩️ My first solo flight - it was FUN! After a year of lessons, I finally flew solo. Thanks to instructors Peter Olt & Günter Krenn.

Weirdest part: no one next to you to check decisions. Just me, my checklists, and self-talk! 😉

First landing was aborted (missing kilos matter!), but the next 3 were better. Taxied back with a huge smile. Amazing feeling in our Aquila A211!

Still learning, but thriving on the responsibility. ✈️

My First Solo Flight - It Was Fun! | Patrice Brend'amour

After a year of lessons and practice, I finally did my first solo flight! It wasn't scary at all - it was incredibly fun. Read about my experience flying the Aquila A211 all by myself.

@patrice congratulations! Never a better feeling than self-reliance in the air.
