  1. Wasn't planned but to my surprise I was asked to conduct a familiarisation flight on the BR23 915 IFR. I guess it's real name is even longer. And so are the checklists which make every A320 look pale...
    Holy moly.
    Bottom line it is nothing but a microlight.
    A microlight with the avionics of a business jet. Really.

  2. When you're on FL95, what you don't expect are paraglider several thousand feet above you.
    Describes today's weather pretty well, though.
    You definitely need an improvised Sun protection.

  3. It appears that since recently I'm sitting more often in the right seat. No matter if as PAX or PIC 🤷
    And I tried and compared the A/C with the shortest and with the longest wingspan of our fleet.
    Roll rate, stability and the relation of speed and lift are interesting 🤩

    Our BZF Theory Class Session afterwards was also good fun. Just a few students this time but they seemed happy, I can tell.

  8. The Piper got some new seats.
    Awesome. Had to try them out.
    Some VOR nav training was perfect for the probably last flight of the year.

  9. Hehe most asked question on #FIS, yesterday: "Can you confirm that the ED-R EM MUC 3 is NOT active?"

    Yeah you better ask if #NOTAM behave differently than announced* in #SUP.
    Good job from both, pilots and FIS.

    Nice flight to enjoy the weather, have lunch in #EDMJ #Jesenwang later Coffee and Tiramisu in #EDNL #Leutkirch and the sundowner at #EDNY.

    *) expected 😝

  10. This is the 2nd time it happened. Got a Diamond upgrade ahead of time for the O'Hare Hilton after booking a runway view. I appreciate the suite upgrade but I really want that runway view, had to call for the "downgrade". Too much of an airplane nerd ;)

  11. Second try to try out our new BR23. Failed again. This time the battery died. No, it not just ran empty. It literally died and almost set the plane on fire. Thanks to five screws with different heads it took us several minutes to remove the hot, fuming and steaming battery to secure the plane.
    At least, this time I made till fireing up the avionics. Let's see if I'll get airborne in a third try. God damn it.....

  12. What idiot went out flying at 24kt crosswind on approach/departure and 40kt in 5000ft?
    Oh wait. That was me.
    Still nice at the lake but quite stormy at the Black Forest. What a ride.
    But: picked up and brought back home my pax, successfully. 😻

    Next I want to go flying while no trees are bending, please.
    Big shout out to the two cool guys at #EDTW Radio. Was nice talking to you, today! See you soon!

  13. It was about time. Time to check whether the Black Forest is still doing ok.
    Turns out, it is. It does. What a beautiful place.
    No matter if from above or from ground level (wait for it!)

  14. Left Wing Tuesday.
    Archer trip to EDNH. Famous for their tremendous cake. Normally. Tuesdays the cafe is closed. Unfortunately.
    Have to fly there again, soon.

  18. Milestone day for me as a #pilot. I got out to fly for a short bit this afternoon and it included landing for the first time at an airport I've been in and out of countless times in my life, KMKE in Milwaukee!!

  19. An older pre-pandemic picture of a #flight I did with a friend over #losangeles at night. Absolutely stunning views, especially in a #cirrus !

  20. So apparently 3 videos is the threshold for creating a playlist on Youtube (for me anyway). If you're looking for my very limited #aviation, #studentpilot, #privatepilot video content, there's now an easy way to find all of it (again all three videos worth LOL).

  21. Flight deck Monday poll by @[email protected]
    How often do you seek out some kind of recurrent training?

  22. Here's a fun #video of me #flying a #cirrus #SR20 over #LosAngeles #california ! It was an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight and I was approaching #hawthorne #airport from the East. Notice Downtown #LA off the right wing! #pilot #pilotsofmastodon
