Welcome to Abeam.be

I am a European instrument rated commercial pilot and flight instructor who is flying in Europe, the US and Asia. On this blog, I am sharing my aviation experiences and information since 2007 with the world. I hope it inspires those who dream of flying to just start doing it. For those that are aloft from time to time, it might keep the dream alive. Enjoy the site and keep in contact!
