She's just 19 years old. Ms.Rutherford,who's British-Belgian,began her trip in Belgium on August 18.She plans to fly across five continents,through 52 countries before returning to Belgium in November. This trip is something Ms.Rutherford has dreamed about for a long time.She's been learning to fly planes since she was 14 years old.She got her pilot's license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice. She's making this trip in a small two-seater plane called a microlight.One of the seats has been replaced with an extra gas tank(),which will allow Ms.Rutherford to cover longer distances. The plane has had several other updates for safety,including a second radio and satellite communications that let her talk to people whenever she needs to. To follow her route,Ms.Rutherford needs to be able to see,since her plane can't be guided using its instruments alone.That means she can't fly at night or in bad weather.To avoid clouds,she has to fly close to the land or ocean,which can be dangerous.As one pilot said,"...what she's doing is really,really,really brave." Because of the danger,Ms.Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies.She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in the ocean. She plans to stay a night or two in each place to visit with schools and youth groups.She hopes to inspire young girls to explore areas like aviation(),science,mathematics,and engineering.As her father points out,currently,only about 5%of pilots are women. "It's not an easy thing,but just go for it,"Ms.Rutherford says."If you don't try and see how high you can fly,then you'll never know. 1.How long will it take Zara Rutherford to finish the trip?
