Good try, but not realistic...

Thanks, for the video! That is absolutely insane. Although, I've done a forced approach from 1500 AGL and I had way more time because I'm in a plane and still have the same amount of lift. The big difference is that I had time to find a spot to put down, make a distress call (sudo of course...), emergency briefing for my passengers (my instructor...), as well as final shutdown. At least in a plane there's a little room for error (as small as it is lol...). But props to the pilot in that video for remaining a calm and collected as he did as well as handling the heli the way he did!

Seraph, Mogoth, do you guys got your licenses yet? Where are you guys based? I'm up in Alberta, Canada. Just got mine a couple weeks back (the test was soooo nerve racking lol).

Nope. We're starting to fly our first retractable gear this week (Cessna 172RG), and in 2 or 3 weeks we should start flying Seneca. We're hoping to finish around februari. We're based at Madrid, Spain (LECU).

That's pretty awesome man! At my school we got a 182RG. Pretty sick plane. But a seneca! Those are nice! Expensive though!

Yep, it's the plane we're doing our ME-rating on. We're going for the ATPL .

Nice! That takes a while though... So many hours required... What do you hope to do with your license eventually?

Flying .

Nah, to be honest, I just want to get a job, preferably in Europe, at some airliner. I don't really care in what company for my first job. After I've got a decent amount of hours I can start looking for the right company.

ya man! I'm probably gonna go the instructor route for my first flying job and then get all the other necessary ratings, maybe fly for some other small company and then when I got enough hours and all, I want to do missionary flying.

Hey, I wonder, do you still remember your first solo... I remember mine, one of the most surreal moments ever!

My first real solo was when I was 14, in a glider. It was awesome ! I went up just singing . First solo routing was awesome though. Actually flying somewhere without anyone next to you. I loved it.

When (if?) you do find the right company, will you carry in my resume?
