NEAR THE SKIES: 2010-04-18

http://neartheskies.blogspot.com/2010_04_18_archive.html

I woke up 4.20 AM after a good night's sleep. I was looking forward to this exciting day. First leg of the journey was by train from Aarhus. The weather was beautiful and the Danish country side had a real show off. Due to a huge volcanic ash cloud over Europe all flights had been cancelled. A volcano at the icelandic Eyjafjallajoekull glacier (yes, just try to say it out loud! In fact, though we had plenty of time, we quickly decided to opt for a taxi instead. We didn't want to be late for the test&...

NEAR THE SKIES: 2011-07-17

Time has come for an update on my flying situation. As of now I have around 5 of the 12 hours I need to get my license renewed. I've been flying most of the 5 hours during my night qualification course. Due to the late summer nights me and my insructor earlier this year decided to postpone the rest of the course until Autumn. Alternatively I could do a PFC (proficiency check) instead. That would also be a cheaper solution. We'll see. Abonner på: Indlæg (Atom). Welcome to my aviation blog!

80 hours and new education. All worries have now vanished. Friday the 23th of September I got an automatic renewal of my SEP (Single Engine Piston) rating as I managed to fly my 12th hour (where at least 6 of them have been as PIC - Pilot In Command) before the 30th of september. Needless to say I'd been more than excited during the few weeks up to deadline. I choose to start on this education due to several good reasons. First of all I like the international aspects of it as well as the study trip t...

NEAR THE SKIES: 2009-09-13

Blood, sweat and tears. It was a calm morning with a beatiful sunrise on the horizon when I drove to Randers Airfield yesterday morning at 6 AM. I was mentally prepared for what to come that day. Eventually this one would turn out to be one of the best in my life. Planning of each of our navigation flights. I've never felt such kind of great relief in my life. Finally, finally after 18 months with blood, sweat and tears I achieved my goal; being able to fly all by myself - up there - near the skies.

NEAR THE SKIES: Broken ligament

Air traffic controller: Phase 1 test completed. Wednesday was one of my best days in a long time. I got my result back from the test I went through the day before and I passed! My colleague drove me home from work and my mobile phone made a sound as I received the good news via e-mail. I was so thrilled and happy that I shouted out a loud 'YES! I'll be back with an update after the test. Be well so long! Abonner på: Indlæg (Atom). Welcome to my aviation blog! Air traffic controller: Phase 1 test completed.

NEAR THE SKIES: Danish Air Show 2010 recap

http://neartheskies.blogspot.com/2010/06/danish-air-show-2010-recap.html

Danish Air Show 2010 recap. I woke up 5:30 AM and was well prepared for the day. I wanted to get there early to get a good position for photography. I'd rented a good Canon lens for the purpose and wanted to get a first row seat to see all the great aircrafts. At noon we heard a message through the loudspeakers. There were so many people wanting to visit the air show that thousands of people were stuck in traffic on the way to the air base. At some point the traffic jam was up to 15 km long!
