Flight and Aviation Page


Do I fly? I have been a student at Ferrari Flight Training.

What did I fly? I have flown a low-wing, four-seater, single-engine airplane from 1969 called a Piper Cherokee 140 (PA-28-140).

Where did I fly?Mostly local flights around Muskoka Airport (just north of Gravenhurst in the province of Ontario, Canada).

With whom did I fly? With my flight instructor and good friend Sandy Ferrari.

Aviation is a relatively new interest, since August 1995, but with this interest are tied a whole string of other latent interests and I have listed a sequence of words here which can also be used as keywords while searching for aviation-related subjects on the internet:

maps and coordinates (knowing the lay of the land), navigation (finding oneself?) by day or by night, star-gazing, meterology (why be imprecise about the greatest excuse for speaking to strangers?), flight theory (amazing),aero engines (I can't explain this too clearly, but I find them romantic), ground school atmosphere, co-student-pilots and instructors, airplanes, airports, ever-changing landscapes and... yes... just that great feel of flying...

To either completely confuse you, or to aid your search in the area of aviation, here are various aviation words and terms: Flight Training Manual, Groundschool, Aeroplane Flight Training Manual, Transport Canada - Aviation, Instrument Pilot Flight Training Manual, Multiengine rating, Commercial pilot's license, flight instructor, instrument instructor, multiengine instructor, night rating, student pilots, Canadian Owners and Pilots Association: COPA, cockpit, solo, glider, FAA - USA, Transport Canada, Emergency Procedures, spiral, spin, landing, takeoff, power-on descent, power-off descent, climb, gentle turn, steep turn, cross winds, flight test, weather, questions & questions, GPS, global positioning systems, avionics, headsets, ANR headsets, helicopter helmets, ultralight, recreational pilot, private pilot, weather, airports, flight planning, insurance, landing fees, aircraft maintenance, aircraft rentals and charters, flight service centres, aircraft manufacturers, aircraft dealers, navigator.
