June 6th 2026 will be my first test flight for my PPL I will make in a year!

So, I already picked up contact with my flight instructor. We will fly the DA-20 Katana "HB-SGL". We have made a rough sketch of our flight plan, etc., but I am not allowed to show it here as my flight instructor told me it is not the finished path. We will make a takeoff at LSZM from Runway 01 (depending on weather). But I am most hyped for the Stall Recovery Maneuver that I will be able to perform! Wish me luck, and yes, I will post pictures of my first test flight!
I can't wait to become a pilot.

Test flight? Or do you mean a Stage Check?
shadeyyyy_@reddit (OP)
No, just to like... It's basically a info day at a company, but with PPL.

Discovery flight then.

Very best of luck. Once you have passed, perhaps treat yourself to a phone with a camera that isn’t from 2004!

They're like that by purpose. Vintage, to have the right memories

I guess these are some screenshots of some video OP cause he's not been on the flight yet

Yes, ecactly. These are screenshots from a video I found of a DA20 doing the Stall Recovery.
