my name is Max Wohlerdt, I am 21 years old. I graduated school in summer 2016 and I am currently training with "Flugschule Hamburg" in the Hamburg area in Germany for my ATPL.

My passion for flying started back in 2008 when I got my first flightsimulator. The following years were marked by hours spent flying after school, improving my skills every time.
In 2011 I went on my first discovery flight in Florida with Paragon Flight Training. Three years later, in summer 2014, I started my training as a private pilot with Paragon. Doing the ground study at home on my computer, I only had to come to Florida for flying and examination. Two weeks in summer 2014 were followed by two and a half weeks in April 2015. On the last day of that stay I passed my checkride.
In Germany I validated my PPL in summer 2017. In spring 2019 I obtained my flight instructor rating and passed my written ATPL exam. Since then I collected over 500 hours of flight time.
Besides my flying I also spent one year as an exchange student in the United States, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. I really enjoyed that time and I learned much in this time, about the country, its people and culture, but also about myself.
