I passed the written exam. Now I have to do five hours of flight training in this thing.



Legally, you may call it aircraft. For those who are know-it-alls: VLA (Very Light Aircraft).

It is the first time I have flown an airplane with a canard. (The canards are the wannabe wings on the front) I am not very sure whether I like it or not.

The biggest downside is the lack of compartments. It has a "hat shelf" which fits a hat (and more important accesories like the fuel drainer and fuel dip) and that's it. No place to put the knee board, or a small water bottle, or even the checklist! One would think that I should be able to use the "hat shelf", but I can't. The shelf is behind the seats and zipped closed (or else the things will fall on our head), which makes it impossible to access during flight.

Hopefully I get to love cherish befriend it over the next flights. After all I am going to have to teach in that.

Until next time,

Happy landings!
