Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Aarohi Pandit is a 23-year-old pilot from Mumbai, India. She became the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic in a very light aircraft. The trip is just one part of her plan to fly all the way around the world.
Ms. Pandit's airplane is a light sports aircraft (LSA). It is much smaller than most airplanes. It is shorter than many people and weighs just 400 kilograms. The wings are 15 m across. The aircraft, which is nicknamed 'Mahi', only has one engine. It can fly for about six hours at a time and can cover 745 miles before it needs more fuel. The fastest it can go is about 125 miles per hour.
Mahi has room for two people, and Ms. Pandit began the trip with her friend, 24-year-old Keithair Misquitta. The two are raising money for a group called WE!. They want to help girls and women who have not had many chances. Together, the two women left India nearly a year ago. They flew Mahi through Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Serbia, Slovenia, Germany, France, and the UK.
To cross the Atlantic, Ms. Pandit took off from an airfield in Scotland. Because the plane is limited in how far it can fly in one trip, Ms. Pandit completed the trip in five flights. She stopped off in Iceland and Greenland before arriving in Canada.
Several men have flown across alone in LSAs. But Ms. Pandit's flight is the first time the trip has been completed in an LSA by a woman flying alone.
