Gliding

In 2016, after 9 months of flight school, I managed to get a Glider Pilot License.

I am still learning a lot and my capability to fly long distance is still veeeeeeeery low. I want to fly far, I am working on it!

Watch ’til the end if you want to get an idea of how quiet it is inside the #cockpit. #noenginenoproblem #segelflug #segelfliegen #aliante #alps #voloavela #alpi #soaring #gliding #glider #sailplane #sunset #thermal #wave #ridge #flight #pilot #astirjeans #astir

This was my best flight in 2017. It was a very simple flight!

I am still in the domain of super-rookie-newbie-low-experienced-sucker-shitty-beginner glider pilots, but 9 days ago I stepped on the other side of the lake alone for the 1st time and 2 days ago I stepped on the other side of the following lake. I don’t know how long it will take to become a good pilot and I don’t even know if I will ever be one, but I am working hard. Stretching the comfort zone, one flight at a time, one lake at at a time. 🙂 #NoEngineNoProblem #segelflug #segelfliegen #aliante #alps #voloavela #alpi #soaring #gliding #glider #sailplane #sunset #thermal #wave #ridge #flight #pilotlife #astir #astirjeans #comolake
