Lady in a neon high-viz jacket standing to the side of a stationary small, white, single engine electric-powered aircraft. In the background is a blue sky with a few whisps of cloud
Foreground: the cockpit of a Pipistrel Velis Electro single-engine aircraft, with dials and instruments such as the altimeter. Background: a distant view from the air of NWI airport's runway. To the left are some green football pitches on the approach
A view of the cockpit instruments in the Velis Pipistrel Electro aircraft. Although much is the same in any 2-seater light aircraft, such as foot rudders, joystick, altimeter, and so on, the main difference is the screen showing the available battery power and usage
The weather was finally good enough to go for a quick jaunt over #Norwich in Saxonair's 2-seater Pipistrel Velis Electro aircraft. So much fun! It's like a zippy electric scooter in the sky 😀✈️ Thanks to pilot/instructor Kay #WomenInAviation #ElectricAircraft
Also served with British Air Transport Auxiliary. #ATA
