Norah

Hi I’m Norah. I’m 16 and I’m currently working towards getting a PPL(A) in a Cessna 172. I’ve been really interested in the idea of flying since I was very young. I not only love flying planes but also the idea that I can travel anywhere and fly in any country with a PPL. I’ve been so lucky to grow up in a family with a passion for aviation. My dad used to be an air cadet and flew in a chipmunk, and has been so helpful throughout my flying journey. My grandfather used to work for Roles Royce building jet engines, and my mum has had a few lessons in a Cessna. I live on the flight path to Cork airport in Ireland and I love watching all the planes landing and taking off.

One day I hope to become a commercial pilot travelling around the world and experiencing new places. Here is a photo from my most recent flight where I practiced slow flight:
