    CONGRATULATIONS! I'm also one of the parallel students, doing a PPL(H) in Germany and checking out your videos to get a feeling of what's coming at me 😄
    As a private pilot, I obviously finished earlier, after 5 months in the Cabri and am meanwhile also type rated in the R44, a much more practical helicopter that's nicer to fly but ugly as hell (who cares?). I wish you all the best for your professional career and with all the other helicopter type ratings that are guaranteed to come.
    Please keep the videos on the new aircraft types you fly coming 🙏

      @BlueSideUp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@RoryOnAir Thanks. I still work through a long list of scenic flight requests but started like you a couple of years ago with my wife as first passenger in the Cabri a couple months ago. She also acted as the extra weight required for the MTOW flight of the R44 type rating and got treated to a LIMA NOVEMBER midfield transition over EDDF, something sadly only possible rarely during normal times and more often now because of the drastically reduced commercial traffic in Frankfurt. So I'll be busy flying and wish for you to be as well. Stay healthy, biologically, mentally and commercially!
