Entrevista con Kristin Karlsdottir

How was your experience during the course?

It was amazing. I got to fly between all the islands and land on many different airports which was a great experience. All my time building hours at Canavia I did with a safety pilot so I was constantly learning and improving during my whole time building. Those hours were very well spent with an instructor because when I started my modules I felt like I was ahead of the game. I really liked the CPL/MEP/IR training. The instructors are all experienced pilots with loads of knowledge and highly professional teaching methods so I enjoyed every part of the training.

Why did you choose Canavia for your flight training?

The main reason I chose Canavia to begin with was the location of the school. The Canary Islands is a beautiful place to experience, both on the ground as well as from above. I come from Iceland which is a beautiful country but unfortunately the weather there can be really hard to count on. Therefore, being a pilot student in Iceland can sometimes be hard, especially during the autumn and winter months when you can expect not being able to fly many days or even weeks in a row. The Canary Islands on the other hand are known for their subtropical climate so the weather is pretty stable all year around. During my almost 4 months at Canavia I never had to cancel my flight because of the weather. The only time I got close to it was that one time during a heat wave because the temperature was very high. Still, we made it to the air and that was a unique first-time experience for me, to see how the plane behaves in conditions like these.
