Learning to fly at 42, based out of Zurich and trying not to get lost in the Alps. ✈️🇨🇭

This channel follows my journey from zero hours to Private Pilot Licence here in Switzerland. I’ll be sharing short, honest snippets from my training: first circuits, mistakes, small wins, and everything in between. Along the way, I’ll also try to show what’s special about flying in Switzerland – mountain airfields, tight valleys, crazy scenery, weather that changes in minutes, and the unique rules and quirks of Swiss airspace.

If you’re thinking about starting your PPL a bit later in life, you fly in Europe, or you just love Swiss aviation and Alpine views, you’re in the right place. Subscribe and come along for the ride from the right seat – headset on, nerves and excitement included.
