It took me a long time to translate the book to English – and a lot of proofreading was necessary until were (hopefully!) on the same level as the German edition. The English book contains the same 14 stories as the original German book (plus an appendix about the history of aviation) You can read a sample on amazon.com https://a.co/d/0i2mcXt Content Foreword 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright On the dunes of Kitty Hawk, humanity learns to fly 1919 John Alcock and Arthur Whitten-Brown Conquerors of the North Atlantic 1927 Charles Lindbergh Solo to Paris 1937 The Mystery of the…

https://youtu.be/NUjuv_ErNgY?si=co8zwJMLV2zURW8x I made this video for two reasons: I wanted to show the capabilities of “smartCHECK”, the talking checklist app, and I also wanted to learn how to better edit videos. This is the setup I used: My DJI MAVIC drone for the hangar video. I took off and “parked” it in the corner of the hangar in about 10 feet above the ground and started the recording. The rear camera in the cabin is a GARMIN VIRB ULTRA 30. It is mounted to the cabin ceiling. The great thing about the VIRB ULTRA 30 is that you can connect…
Prag ist immer eine Reise wert, und aus Deutschland ist es ein ideales GA-Ziel. Flugzeit mit der Cirrus aus der Nähe von München: eine Stunde! VFR kann man alle drei in Frage kommenden Flugplätze/Flughäfen anfliegen (Ruzyne, Vodochody und Letnany), allerdings bietet sich hier Letnany mit seiner Nähe zur Stadt, dem U-Bahn-Anschluß und den moderaten Gebühren an. IFR fliegt man am besten nach Vodochody, nördlich der Stadt, der Platz ist allerdings am Wochenende geschlossen. Der internationale Flughafen Ruzyne ist aber für die GA ebenso gut geeignet wie Vodochody, wenn natürlich auch etwas teurer. Um LKPR VFR oder IFR anzufliegen schickt man…
https://www.youtube.com/live/MT-wCVfkgb8?si=zTRMOgViSg5yZ9vb In January 2024 Cirrus Aircraft presented the new G7 version of their SR-series of Airplanes (SR20, SR22 and SR22T). All SRs delivered in 2024 will be G7s. The most important changes: New Avionics Suite (“Perspective Touch”) based on Garmin’s G3000, very similar to Cirrus SF50 Jet (no auto throttle or FADEC though) Automatic Fuel Tank Switching (every 5 gallons, manual mode is also possible) New design of interior with lower dashboard, new door panels, seats, lighted USB_C porst and … (of course :-)) cup holders Push Button Start instead of key New Lithium Battery (20 lbs. lighter) What I…
I bought my SR22-G2 GTS in the June of 2013. By that time the airplane was almost 7 years old and in pretty good condition. Over the years I have improved many technical aspects of the plane, including a complete set of new avionics, a new interior, Beringer brakes, the 4-blade prop. But I was never completely happy with the exterior. First of all i did not care much about the 2006 graphics. I always thought the “SR22 GTS” logo on the tail was ugly. Over the years I improved many of the little graphical details: Is started with removing…

EDBM ist ein idealer Zwischenstopp für Flüge aus dem Süden nach Skandinavien – aber natürlich ist Magdeburg selbst auch eine Besuch wert.Ich bin auf dem Weg nach Kopenhagen nur kurz zum Tanken und für ein Mittagessen in EDBM gelandet, aber folgende Vorteile sind mir aufgefallen: Self-Service AirBP-Tankstelle für Avgas RNP/LPV-Approach auf die 27 Hervorragendes italienisches Flugplatzrestaurant “Papa Razzi” direkt am Vorfeld Ich komme sicher wieder!
