Luckily I had my noise certificate. 3 of them actually.
So, do you pay for a package plus a noise surcharge if you don’t have the certificate?
I also have a couple of seats if anyone else needs a lift down from the south of the UK.
For those of us having no slot or slot for Saturday
plenty of good pictures
Nice pics
We had only 2hrs today, after waiting for fuel, waiting for the shuttle bus, etc. 2 more days to go…
The flight was practically CAVOK; 3:20hrs. Landing outside the slot but as I said that is just a job creation scheme (which incidentally facilitates a lot of “towel on deckchairs” practices which ensure that genuine people could not get slots).
150kt TAS all the way. On average, no wind
I wonder if somebody had a sense of humour in naming these navaids
There is a 3rd one which is great too but I couldn’t get it showing on the same screen…
In case I got one of the RNAV transitions, I programmed them (both possibilities) under separate flight plans which I could switch to
One isn’t supposed to do this, but the bottom fell out of the navigation market with GPS
Nearly there
The Alps in the distance… seen them rather a lot this year already
In reality everything was radar vectored, runway 24, here set up with the magenta line showing the LOC for orientation (GPS in OBS mode)
Unknown traffic busting the airspace… fortunately he had Mode C so we had him on TCAS long before becoming visual
Getting out will be a bugger – will need 3 strong people to pull the plane off the grass. Can’t do it under power due to rocks on the ground
The Panthera is here; seemingly with the old IO390 engine so this is another plane which has “frozen” in time. It is not being exhibited
Lots of long-legged girls around, especially some on one Czech stand
The area around the lake is nice… this is Hagnau
Incidentally tomorrow’s TAFs are CAVOK too… and Sunday looks good for flying back.
I’m not coming and I canceled my slot (Saturday IFR 1020-1040 UTC); I’m flying directly to Krakow.
We had a super dinner tonight. Thank you all for making it there
I agree super dinner, great choice of restaurant and nice to meet so many EuroGA folk. Thanks for organising.
I think a lot of us, myself included, will be hanging out at the show today, so no doubt we will bump into each other
I didn’t actually “organise” anything. It was Vieke who picked the restaurant. I just told everybody to go there
