"At times Joran south of Jura Mountains", do you know what this means? I did not and that's why I made a note on my weather briefing to find out after the flight. On descent into the aerodrome of Neuchâtel nature answered my question - by simply turning...

A letter from the Swiss aviation administration stated that I, a young pilot with 110h total time and 444 landings, indeed am a pilot. I told them before but they would not listen. What they were looking for were four solo circuits - done in Switzerland...

Yesterday my girlfriend asked if we would go to the airport's restaurant on the weekend. I wasn't sure if I heard right but I agreed without asking why. Anyhow, I really need to give her a bouquet of lilies for this one. :) My father called today and...

Neither have I, nevertheless the airport at Lake Zurich felt as if it was one. After a nice and stable approach over the water - which reminded me of flying floats at 500' and below - I touched down pretty much on the numbers and I didn't even need to...

You come home from flying with a big grin on your face. You take off your shoes and - damn, what's that smell?! - you probably had your first solo. In my case, I completed the validation process from FAA to EASA by a first solo in EASA-land. Yay! Party...
Post lesenIf a passenger would glance at my logbook she or he would never fly with me. I just filled another page and there is only one flight where I did not have an emergency. Although it was all simulated - I had no normal flights. I am longing for the day when...

Every pilot is part of the voice of General Aviation. The least I can do today is to re-blog a very good read from AOPA UK; click the link for the original article. There is also a commentary about this issue written by the president of Europe Air Sports...

At the mountainous airport of Saanen you find all kind of people. There is the Glacier pilot with his Maule, working on his engine in the hangar. There is the unknown blonde celebrity on the co-pilot's seat of a PC-12, desperately waiting for her limousine....

I have been talking about flying for months. My girlfriend, Selina, never flew with me until last weekend. Finally she can't question anymore if I were a pilot at all! Check out this picture my mom took on the flight home. I believe this flight was a...

Take a stopwatch and a map then fly a given route as precise as you can. My father and I tried our best at a training event of the Precision Flying Association. This day taught me a lot. The first lesson was learned before even taking of. In the morning...
