Training

I began training for my Canadian Private Pilot’s License in October of 2013. I chose to fly with Namao Flying Club near Edmonton, AB. The club provides training and aircraft rentals, plus ground school.

I flew for a while with my training until June of 2014. At that point, work got pretty busy, so I didn’t fly again for another 15 months. My next flight, where I really focused on finishing my training, was September 10th, 2015.
