When I started Flight School, back in August 2018, there was a huge demand for
new pilots so, when I graduated in December 2019, I was ready to start doing what I
love the most: flying. I had flown with the PA28 Archer and PA44 Seminole in sunny
Arizona and then with the PA34 Seneca in rainy Oxford. I tremendously enjoyed
those days!

Sadly, shortly after my graduation, Covid-19 decided to step in, so my dreams
entered an holding pattern. But I did not give up, I kept my skills fresh and at the
end I achieved passing SmartLynx’s selection process.

I first got to know SmartLynx at the Berlin Pilot Expo 2020, and it positively
impressed me so, when the assessments resumed, I immediately applied.
I started my A320 Type Rating in March 2021 and passed the Skills test the 1st May.
Ground school was done online, at the beginning I thought it was going to make
things harder, but I admit I changed my mind looking back at it.

Then I did the Base Training on the 4th. It was the best day of my life and it really
was worth the waiting and every sacrifice I have made!

Special thanks go to Cpt. Vasilijs Kazaks, honestly could not have asked for a better
sim instructor, and to the whole #SmartTeam for always being available and
incredibly professional! Now I am ready to take on the next chapters!
