Mi primer vuelo solo

First solo flight and ICAO Level 5 in aviation Spanish.

January 2026: a training aircraft, a plotter, an aeronautical chart and the instruments — with an instructor at first.

28 February: my first solo flight. The instructor’s verdict: “Impecable” — flawless.

15 April: the aviation Spanish exam (Examen de Competencia Lingüística de Español Aeronáutico) — ICAO Level 5, “Extended”, with top marks in all six criteria. Level 4 is enough for radio operations.
