Back from 11 days of flying: From Switzerland to Greece. The journey is 20.4 hours in my logbook and I have many stories to tell.

No, this was no lazy sunday! :) After an incredible Muse concert on saturday... ...my father had the brilliant idea to go flying! We flew to a small grass field, called Sitterdorf (LSZV). It had a short runway of just 1570 feet and both threshold were to be overflown at 60 feet. I looked up the[...]]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 19:19:00 +0200 0b345a3dc29d1b81347d61f1adc2f3e4 Private Pilot Privileges http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-163-8h-aviation-sunday-118619417-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-156-7h-alps-crossing-117365765.html
The Franklin engine roared to live and accompanied us with its distinctive galloping sound, while taxiing to runway two five. I gave the girls a quick passenger briefing and took off into the blue skies. Crossing the alps will always amaze me. :) The first time without my dad - but with a[...]]]> Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:12:00 +0200 ca588093989d6163a0f2909ce36c8e57 Private Pilot Privileges http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-156-7h-alps-crossing-117365765-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-152-3h-conversion-faa-easa-complete-117177723.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:08:00 +0200 2e742a9ccf81e13c07ff8cad1f5db657 Conversion FAA to EASA http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-152-3h-conversion-faa-easa-complete-117177723-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-class-delta-confusion-115434754.html
In class delta airspace, does air traffic control ensure separation between IFR and VFR traffic? The answer is no. Curiously enough 75% of private pilots and 70% of airline transport pilots believe it is not their responsibility. A survey revealed this shocking numbers. An airporx involving a[...]]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2013 18:32:00 +0100 a302a36e8c767a77e9ad770ab067b18f Rules of the Air http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-class-delta-confusion-115434754-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-ndb-531-115311004.html
Yesterday my car had a flat battery. My girlfriend's dad helped to get it running again. Later, on the way to work, I found out the cooler fan and radio didn't work anymore. Oh I love this Ford Fiesta.... after work the radio came back to life (who needs a cooler fan, anyway?) and for some[...]]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:10:00 +0100 371d93913e60f3abe92ace136d96d551 Private Pilot Privileges http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-ndb-531-115311004-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-50nm-cross-country-114732870.html
One of the easy-to-accomplish tasks toward my commercial pilot licence is the cross-country flight time as pilot in command. I need 50hrs and I think I almost got it. Since I work toward a licence the flights have to cover at least 50 nautical miles in a straight line. Funny thing though -[...]]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2013 17:33:00 +0100 4409243446e4b7c9fda3c08ea5fc1959 Private Pilot Privileges http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-50nm-cross-country-114732870-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-blue-skies-113334646.html
During the grey fall days it is hard to believe that there's blue skies - anywhere above. One lucky Saturday the clouds opened up a bit to let us catch a bit of sunlight. Knowing there weren't any clouds in the alps, we headed toward them for a $100 fondue. The alps holding back the clouds for[...]]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 22:15:00 +0100 7078c475c124a59c54138dc3c68ad8c4 Private Pilot Privileges http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-blue-skies-113334646-comments.html#anchorComment http://www.myclimbrate.com/article-a-never-attempted-flight-111143351.html
Private Pilot Checkflights are very thoroughly planned by the students. A day before mine my examiner told me to plan a flight from Seattle over the mountains to Wenatchee. I spent a half day on this flight plan. I would follow a river and a highway towards the east.
