As the school year is coming to an end, I'm able to concentrate more on my flying. I'll be completing my required long cross country flight to obtain my Commercial certificate before the end of June. My instructor and I have been toying with the idea of a trip to Seattle. We both have family up there and it would meet the required distance of 250 nautical mile straight distance from my base airport (Provo) and at least 300 nautical miles total.
The flight will be made in a Diamond DA42 Twin Star. It's a great little plane. Two Thielert TAE135 Turbo Diesel engines with a common rail injection system. I have included a photo so that you can all share the excitement (...be excited...NOW). For more photos of the Twin Star, go here: DA42 Twin Star
I will also be completing my multi-engine rating to add on to my private pilot certificate. When I take my practical exam for my Commercial certificate, it will be in the Twin Star, so I'll retain my multi-engine status along with my Instrument rating.
I'll be sure to post some pictures of my flights here on this blog. PLEASE comment! As much as it may be difficult for you to believe, I want to hear from you all. There's definitely more to come, so check back at least once a week.
