Your pilot

I’m Puiu, a recreational pilot who has been flying since 1998. During this time, I have logged more than 1,200 flight hours in ultralight aircraft and general aviation aeroplanes.

For me, aviation is more than a hobby—it is my way of discovering the world from above. I am passionate about cross-country routes and mountain landscapes, and every flight is an opportunity to share the beauty of Romania from the air.
