on the move and licensed...

What a feeling to get airborne again after more than a year of no flying!!
I came up to Johannesburg last week to prepare for my commercial license and instrument rating renewals. It also served as good preparation for the upcoming flight standardisation course. I got some valuable time in the Cessna 206 and some heads up from an experienced MAF training captain. All went well during the test with the South African Airways training captain and active MAFSA board member. There is always room for improvement, but everything was up to standard to revalidate my license.

Thank you for the prayers, I must say I was quite stressed, but a sense of calm came over me and checklists and procedures returned to memory, it can only be an answer to prayers. Please keep on praying, for safe travel and more calmness and vigilance as the flying will only intensify from here onward. Visit the blog for updated prayer requests.

Thank you for your partnership as I prepare to help MAF overcome barriers, change lives and build God's Kingdom.
