Helicopter Dreams

A journey from an office to the sky

So this is me
My name is Markus Andersson. I'm a 34 year old dreamer that have realized that life is too short for not fulfilling these dreams. One of my dreams is to learn to maneauver a helicopter so that I can fly whenever and wherever I want. I will here share my thoughts and reflections and hopefully I can inspire you to fulfill your dreams.

Finally, done with the theory!

After a busy month with bad conscience about not finalizing the theory I’m finally done! Spent the last two evenings going through the AGN (Aircraft General Knowledge) part of the book “1000 questions” and then went to the flight theory school this afternoon. I didn’t knew what to expect when I started the exam since I’ve heard from many of my classmates that this was the most tricky test to pass. 35 minutes and 20 questions later I looked into the computer screen with a big smile, “PASSED” it said!

COM (Communication): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
HP (Human Performance):  QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
AL (Air Law): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
OP (Operational Procedures): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
AGN (Aircraft General Knowledge): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
FPP (Flight Planning & Performance): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
PF (Principles of Flight): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
MET (Meteorology): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
NAV (Navigation): QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)

So, here I am, done with all the theory tests, waiting for an examination date. Need to call my instructor for some fresh up flying lessons, feels like ages since I was up there in my “bubble”!

Next step, examination and then we’ll see what happens…maybe I’ll continue with the Commercial Pilot Licence course that starts early summer 2009, why stop half the way?

Now I’ll get a plastic bag and put all my books in there for a while….nice!
