Flying days...

Holidays are over and were well spent. Now it is time to get back to the ordinary things. One of them of course is flying. Today I arrived at Gorna Oryakhovitza - the small Bulgarian city with international airport, which is not used by many airlines and which turns out to be perfectly suitable for flight training.

As this is my second blog post, it is maybe the perfect time to introduce the potential readers to my "flying self" (of course many more introductions to different aspects of it will come later).

I graduated as MSc Aeronautical Engineering in the Technical University of Sofia. My educational profile was operations and maintenance of aircraft and more specifically operations. This means that I, together with another seven guys were selected to get trained for airline pilots on state expense. I graduated in March and only a month earlier started logging fight time.

Me and my colleagues, we fly in a Bulgarian flight training organization which won the state funding contract (it is not the university who is teaching us). This particular FTO operates from Gorna Oriahovitza Airport (LBGO) which is some 250 kilometers away from my home city of Sofia. This means that during "flying days" I have to travel and stay at this small city for at least 5 days.

Today is the day I arrived. Tomorrow is the first of five flying days, which means that everything is according to plan, I should head back home in Tuesday.

Anyway. At the time I am writing this I am in the middle of my PPL(A) program and I just started visual flight routes. This means that most likely tomorrow I will be flying a visual route from Gorna (Oriahovitza) back to Gorna.

Stay tuned.....
