Hi from France !

Post by Léo »

Hi All !

I'm Léo, i'm from north-west of France. I have 16 years and I passed my first licence less than one years ago. Today I'm at 30 flight hours I wish to pass my PPL at 17.

I'm registered here with the goal to improve my English and my aeronautic experience.

Thank you,
Léo. :wink:

Thank you Jack,

I flight often with a Jodel DR 1051 or with a Piper Pa28 Warrior but sometimes with a Dyn'Aero MCR.

I think everyone here is familiar to some extent with Piper's Warrior. Here's the other plane that Leo flies most frequently...which is quite famous in Europe:

Yes, the Piper Pa28 is less difficult to pilot than the Jodel DR1051. I think, the PA28 is a general public plane in the world but the Jodel's aircrafts are home-build aircraft and sometimes more technical in piloting. But they are complementary.

Excuse me if my sentence is wrong, my traduction is maybe false. ;)

Welcome to the forum, Leo. It's a pleasure to have a young student in the group. I'm glad to learn that Sport Pilot is an option in France. Fly safely, and have fun!
