Of late, I have been thinking of learning to fly an airplane, perhaps a Cessna or a Piper. I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering, where in I was taught the principles of flight, propulsion, structural engineering and designing of airplanes.
Having studied the theory behind flight, it is only prudent that I put these theories into practice and observe how theory can explain reality.
I do know that to get a Private Pilot License in Canada, one needs to have 40 hours of flying experience, and 40 hours of ground school experience.
This is a very expensive process though - the whole process would cost about 10K or so, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. You can then upgrade to a whole gamut of things - night flying, multi-engine, jets and so on.
So, will I be flying? Only time can tell. I will blog on my experiences...
So long!
