Having spent a happy hour and a bit doing gradually-faster taxy runs up and down the runway, I got airborne! I gained a considerable respect for the little D119.

The instructor has many hours on this particular Jodel, is a member of the group, and spent a long time on the ground explaining stuff before we even got into it. I will be surprised if 5 hours logged time proves enough, even so.

But then, I've got 30 years experience of nosewheel aircraft and I wouldn't say I'm good at landing them, either.
