About me

My name is Nima, I am 23 years old and was born and raised in Heidelberg, Germany. I currently study Aviation Management and Piloting at the University of Applied Sciences in Worms, Germany. 

After school I started studying sports management and bio sciences in Jena, Germany for one year but soon realized that that’s just not what I want to do in life. 

I truly loved flying since I was a kid but never even spared one thought on becoming a pilot and never had a single contact to somebody working in aviation. Through a friend I then met his brother, a pilot, who works for a big German airline, allowing me to talk to him and to gather some information on his flight training from a couple of years ago. 

As I loved flying since I was a little kid I thought „why not?“. I was invited to an intro flight by him, allowing me to fly with him for an hour. I immediately fell in love with flying and decided that that’s what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Back then I truly had no idea about aviation and just applied to the flight school and university straight away, as airlines were still not starting their training since Covid-19.

I started my training in September of 2022 and finished my PPL as first of my class in 45h 02mins in March 2023. After that I completed my Instrument Rating at our partner school in Florida, USA which took me around 46 hours over 2 months, from May to July 2023. I then continued with my hourbuilding in Florida from February to April 2024, gathering 50 hours of cross-country PIC time on IFR flight plan, leading to me having logged around 85 hours of Instrument flight time and 160 hours total to date.

Having been in contact with a variety of different people, students and instructors, and flight schools, I was able to gather much more information on the topic of flight training which I put together here.

During all this time I also realized that I want to do this no matter what. I found my passion in flying and really enjoy sharing every moment with you guys on social media.

I wouldn’t have done anything different to date and I don’t regret a single decision I have made. Continuous learning is the key to success.
