About 80% of general aviation aircraft fly using Lycoming engines. Clearing the trees at the end of the runway. Leaving 4500ft for 6500ft. Maintaining airflow and generating lift across the wings. All are impossible without a reliable engine. Lycoming powers my training aircraft and so fuels my quest for a private pilot certificate. This blog is a record of my thoughts and experiences on life, flight, and learning.
I now am the proud owner of plastic proof that I passed the FAA pratical exam last year! I like to think of it as a credit-card with a limit of 18,000ft MSL, 3 miles visibility, and VFR separation from clouds....what trips will I go on with this ticket to fly the friendly skies? Only time will tell...
