Welcome to Vera's Online Flight Reflections...

Originally, this writing and reflecting was intended to help me solidify my understanding as I worked towards my private pilot's license.  After three and a half long years, after several breaks and setbacks, after the successful completion of my PPL, this website has become an archived compilation of my learning and ideas.

I invite you to read about my journey by visiting my reflective Blog or Flight Lessons, or checking out interesting LINKS that have helped me in my studies.  To access my notes about Ground School, you will need a password. Please contact me if you are interested in obtaining said password. 
 
Help Me Fly!
As my first flight instructor pointed out, "flying's not for peasants"!  Why not have me
design your website so that I can keep flying?!

If you don't need a website,  please consider a donation to the cause anyway...
 
 
Vera is learning to fly a Cessna 150 like this one, only a bit older and more beat up!
