Hey, fellow pilots, to-be-pilots, aviation fans, where are you? 🧑‍✈️✈️🛩️

Please repost and tag others! 🔁

What hashtags should we use to find like-minded #AviationGeeks? #PilotLife #FlyWithMe #FlyingHigh #AviationCommunity

Thanks, pam!

No, I don’t have any plans to become a professional pilot, hobby only. I am happy with my occupation and would not trade it. Maybe, I I’d even be bored as a commercial pilot. 😅

But maybe I’ll fly to some business trips one day. Although there are many additional licenses needed to do that.

Some weeks ago, I decided to fulfill a childhood dream: #LearningToFly! ✈️

Encouraged by the awesome Nostr community, I decided to share some experiences on my way to my private pilot license. I hope my journey is interesting to those pursuing the same goal, to aviation enthusiasts, and anyone else curious about it.

Feel free to ask me questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. As I am still early on my journey, there is much for me to learn.

First, I'd like to tell you about my childhood dream. Becoming a pilot used to be a childhood dream for many children. I don't know if it is still a thing. For me, it was something to aspire to.

When I was 10, I could identify almost every airplane model that landed at Vienna airport. While other kids played store, I set up a flight office in my room. You could buy flights from me! Unfortunately, I have no photos to share. However, here is a picture of a widely used airplane by Austrian Airlines, the McDonnell Douglas MD-82. I also had a small model of this aircraft and others.

As time went by, my interest in becoming a pilot faded, though I still liked planes. However, becoming a pilot seemed less interesting as I grew older. Now, I have my own consulting company, and I am content with my career choice.

Nevertheless, learning to fly was always on my agenda. However, as a child, I was too young. In my twenties, I lacked sufficient funds. In my thirties, I had no time or didn't prioritize it. Additionally, my concerns regarding flying grew due to its massive CO2 impact. But this year, something changed that reignited my dream. It has to do with a revolutionary new way to fly. I'll share it with you tomorrow.

From wind, solar & batteries: Forever! 💪

Awesome story, thanks for sharing it! It really makes me think.

Thanks for sharing! I just started #LearningToFly and it is quite overwhelming in the beginning. 🥲

Well, thanks for all your support. So, here it is, my first post about #LearningToFly: nostr:note1mxpprxp3u0sdsuum3zsutzkmz9jhnhfr2r2wjg8hh5pqy9nmq6wqyyrt5d

Wow, thanks for your feedback. That was a clear signal for me!

So, let the journey begin: #LearningToFly

Maybe I shall start with the beginning, why I am actually learning to fly. But I’ll do this tomorrow. For now, just a photo my wife took some minutes before I crawled into the plane to experience my first flight as a #PPLA student! 👨‍✈️✈

Here I am going through the checklist. That’s what a pilot needs to do before every flight. And you really need to do this. It is not like we all did when learning to drive: going around the car, but never doing it again after we have the permit. When it comes to flying, safety is paramount. You can’t stop an airplane in midair. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, it seems so. Thanks for your help! 🤝

Yes I see it the same way. I had many interesting conversations here in the past. But I have a long curated list of people I am reading on Twitter, that I am missing here. But well, If I don’t start publishing stuff myself, I can’t expect others to do it, right?

Great, thanks for your feedback! 🤙

Great to read, thanks for your reply. I’ll start sharing some insights, even if only for you! 🫶

Yes, makes sense, huh? 😅

I observer that I use Nostr less and less in recent weeks in comparison to Twitter (or whatever the correct name is today).

I love the tech and prospects behind Nostr. I run a relay and I support clients by translating the UI. But for me, personally, Nostr is lacking interesting content.

So, maybe I should post more content here, that I care about and others might find interesting?

Some weeks ago I started training for my private pilot license. Maybe that’s a topic some might be intersted in. Pictures of small airplanes, pictures of the world from above and some insights from a student? Anybody interested? Give me a 🤙 or a repost. Thanks!

Same issue, for ages, very annoying

I only know Matomo, but I’ve never used their API, but there is one!

I am happy to announce an uptime of 99.428% during the last 90 days!

Why? I almost never use chapters as listener and I don't create them as a podcaster. Although I see value, when a podcast covers many topics. I mainly listen to episodes covering one topic only, where I don't value chapters.
