The 29-year-old catwalk queen has been taking intensive helicopter lessons for months in a bid to secure her pilot's license, and her tutor insists she's a natural in flight, People reported.

"Gisele hasn't finished her license yet, but she did pass her written exam. Now, there's one more step along the way, the practical exam, which is coming up in another week," Shoreline Aviation president Keith Douglass said.

"(She) has been doing an excellent job. She's very dedicated. She flies at least three days a week. Flying a helicopter isn't easy, it's a handful, because you can't stop flying and just cruise, but she's doing great," he added.

However, the top model who was named the fourth most powerful person in the fashion world by a publication is pregnant which might cause problems for her to fly.

"She's almost to a point where she's too big to be flying. We have pilots that fly right up to the end (of pregnancy). She doesn't go very high, maybe 500 feet or 1,000 feet, which is nothing. She's always close and can get down quickly if she needs to. She's feeling great and looking great!, Douglass said.
