 Aircraft types flown
 |
PA 28 - Piper Archer
| Wingspan | MTOW | Engine(s) | Seats |
| 9,14 m | 1,2 t | 1 Piston | 4 |
| Approx hours flown: | 120 |
This was the first training aircraft to learn basic flying with. Easy to handle and pretty slow - exactly the right thing to start flying.

F33A - Beechcraft Bonanza
| Wingspan | MTOW | Engine(s) | Seats |
| 10,21 m | 1,6 t | 1 Piston | 4 |
| Approx hours flown: | 180 |
Our Bonny was the second training aircraft. Faster than the archer, this "high performance aircraft" had a retractable gear. Here we started learning all the instrument flying procedures ("under the hood" while still VFR).

PA 42 - Piper Cheyenne
| Wingspan | MTOW | Engine(s) | Seats |
| 14,53 m | 5,5 t | 2 Turboprop | 8 |
| Approx hours/landings: | 35 / 15 |
The Cheyenne was to get introduced in flying with commercial aircrafts. A lot faster than the other two, this aircraft was the first to be flown in non-VFR weather conditions (CAT I).

Boeing 737 (-300 & -500)
| Wingspan | MTOW | Engine(s) | Seats |
| 28,9 m | 57,6 t | 2 Jet | 140* |
| 28,9 m | 54,0 t* | 2 Jet | 120* |
| Approx hours/landings: | 3300 / 1100 |
Finally I arrived on the first real commercial aircraft to carry passengers. It can be flown in almost all weather conditions (CAT IIIa).

Boeing 747 (-400 & -8i)
| Wingspan | MTOW | Engine(s) | Seats |
| 64,4 m | 394,6 t | 4 Jet | 352* |
| 68,7 m | 442,0 t | 4 Jet | 386* |
| Approx hours/landings: | |
After about five years on the short range, it was time for a change. Luckily I got a "seat" on the probably most common long range aircraft.
It is capable of landing in CAT IIIb conditions.
