Re: Request: extended PE service time in the weekends

It would surely be great to have some additional hours during the weekends, maybe even a "european weekend" with 24 hours coverage for Saturdays and Sundays as a separate subscription in the future? I think a handful of dollars for some extra hours would be fine for me. For a "europea...

Re: CAT-01 Successful... kind of...

Welcome, Craig! And congrats on the Cat 1! I just finished the Cat 11 on saturday, and it's a great series of training flights for sure!
