First flight with the family after obtaining my PPL

Had my first flight with the wife and kids this morning. Man what a ride the air was as smooth as glass. We headed out from KSGU St.George to 0L9 echo bay. I think they all fell in love. The little one didn’t want to get out when we landed lol.

Flying over lake Mead was stunning. We even got to see some sky divers along the way. Perfect morning in the skies.

Man, I’d love to just be able to do that whenever I felt like it, you’re lucky! Cool stuff. The 6 hour checkride must have paid off big time lol.

Really great impressions and mid-air footage right there.
I hope I one day encounter the opportunity to make a PP License, training for my GPL in my G103 Twin at the moment and I definitely want to move on to bigger birds at some point in my life, probably after graduating.
Really nice scenery right there, certainly different to what I see when flying here around.

Also, is St. George, UT your home airport? I’m working on that airport in my airport editor role at the moment. Just a little side note.

Have fun up there with your PPL, happy flying.

Again congratulations on obtaining a PPL, it looked like it was a fun flight nice pictures.

That’s awesome. It’s always a pleasure too take your family first time flying. I took my brother the first day I got my PPL.

Excellent stuff dude, and great pictures. Glad to hear your skills paid off. Its always an adventure on each flight you take. You see new things, experience new things, and learn new things. May many more flights be in your favor. Until instrument training… then ATC will start pushing you around. 😂

I also want to become a pilot when I get older. I’m 16 currently and will try to get into a flight school in the U.K. But I have a question. I want to fly my family and friends to another country. Can I do this with a PPL or only with a CPL. And what are the other requirements? Thank You. BTW I want to fly them to Dubai, UAE.

You can fly internationally with a private license from the US. Not sure on the EU regulations on this though. That would be something to talk to a flight school about.

Oh, Thaks for the reply anyway.
