Bundchen has been taking lessons at Marshfield Airport in Massachusetts for about two months. Before she can fully hit the air, she must complete twenty hours of flight lesson and ten hours of solo flight. For those who do not already have a certificate to fly planes, another ten hours of either solo or dual flight time is required.

The written test is a multiple-choice exam covering regulations, navigation and other aeronautical subjects. “She is one of the best pilots I’ve seen in a long time,” Shoreline Aviation president Keith Douglass told the Boston Herald.
Bundchen now has two years to pass her practical flying test which also includes an oral evaluation during which she must demonstrate aeronautical knowledge.
