FIRST FLIGHT

The view that started it.

My first flight on a commercial aircraft. I was too young to understand the mechanics, but old enough to remember looking down and wanting to know how it worked.

2020

FLIGHT SIMULATOR

Flight simming.

Began understanding flight simulator operations and the principles of flight control.

2025

AVIATION HIGH SCHOOL

Starting high school.

Starting to study aircraft mechanics at SŠ Letecká Kunovice, with a focus on avionics.

2026

AEROCLUB

Flying gliders for the first time in real life.

Started glider flight training at Slovácký aeroklub Kunovice.

NEXT

PROFESSIONAL AVIATION

Building the hours.

Working toward PPL, ATPL theory and, eventually, a career in commercial aviation.

FLYING

The glider pilot training is where aviation became physical for me. After years of being fascinated by aircraft from the ground and through flight simulation, I finally began experiencing flight from the cockpit myself.

I am currently training as a glider pilot at a local aeroclub, primarily flying the L-13 Blaník.

ESTIMATED FLIGHT SIMULATOR TIME

~6 000

HOURS

Flight simulators have been a long-term technical practice for me - a place where I have explored aircraft systems, studied procedures, practiced cockpit flows and radio discipline, and learned how complex systems interact with each other. I have spent thousands of hours experimenting with aircraft systems and software, troubleshooting issues and building a deeper understanding of how modern airliners operate.

CURRENT STATE

As a kid, I've always wanted to build my own home cockpit. It started as a simple, universal flight simulation setup and gradually became more complex as I added new panels and hardware, eventually reaching the setup shown in the "OLD HOME COCKPIT" picture.

In this setup, I used Saitek FIPs, which require their own gauges - software that controls what is displayed on each screen. I learned how they worked and developed many of these gauges entirely myself.

Later, I decided to completely rebuild the cockpit and make it specifically for the Airbus A320. I learned to cut the wooden structure myself using a CNC milling machine and assembled it using screws and glue.

I also see the cockpit as preparation for my future aviation career. While it is not a substitute for real flight training, building and operating it helps me become familiar with the A320 environment and systems, with the long-term goal of eventually completing an A320 type rating.

For me, the cockpit is more than a simulator. It is a long-term technical project that brings together many of my interests - aviation, programming, hardware and engineering - while constantly giving me something new to learn.

THE GOAL

My long-term goal is to build a career in commercial aviation.
