Glider pilot skill test

29.10, a murky day with very marginal VFR weather (more like Special VFR) and no clear horizon, passed the skill test, for the glider pilot license. And it was a pleasure flying 6 takeoffs and landings
(including winch cable broke simulation at 100 meters) with the Flight Examiner lady.

Flying a glider in Budapest

Flying a glider in Budapest, at MAV Repuloklub. Very friendly guys over there, I have arranged everything on email with them, couple of weeks before arriving. Also, very competitive rates for renting a  glider.

Glider: PW-6U Standard class

First solo flight

Finally, near the end of the flight season, the time for my first solo flight in a glider has come.

Got two solo flights in a row thanks to my flight instructor  :). And yes, this time nobody was in the backseat anymore.
