Finally, I was able to fly again in the US! We did a great trip this May and June in a C182T from Plus one Flyers. A friend who joined me for most of this trip made a great 6 episode youtube serie. It is in Dutch but subtitled in English, enjoy! Playlist...

Hope that I can proceed with my booked flying holiday in the south west....

Keep in mind that it will not fit some of the expensive older "aviation" accesoires like X-naut for ipad older minis.

Been there in 2019, pretty new to US airspace with only +-30 hours then. Flying in VFR was fun and doable, got some vectors here and there, no delays. The fees were reasonable and they even cleaned my windshield. I walked to MGM.

The 'default' MSFS G1000 is not good to practise, it is way too simple and misses a LOT of functions. I used to have a dekstop version for G1000 where you could simulate a track, it had a lot of functions and showed like the real thing. It is the software from Garmin itself.

2019 around this time I was flying around the snow over the Grand Canyon, last week I did it over my own country. We had exceptional amounts of snow and low temps. A friend joined me and created a video, only the intro is in dutch ;-). The outside airport temperature was +- 19F / -7c, no clouds...

For my professional business I use "PLESK" (not free, not affiliated). It is a all-in-one with a webpanel, but not sure if they have anything for msoffice.

Me! Had myself asking "Does the US have private Mirages flying?". France is still flying them, cool to see in real life.

I had this same thing after departure at LAS around 300’ agl... he asked me to turn, so I did.

I use the ipad mini 4 on my knee or attached to right side of the window, not blocking any instruments (sorry pax ha-ha). I use to I do have the data version but not using it anymore, only for the GPS. The newer IOS allow you to connect to your iphone as 'hotspot' easiliy without draining the...

Somewhere around that position last year.

Here they just keep everything there and make it a “park”. Rent out the spaces for offices and “art projects”... people bike and rollerskate on the runway... some nice event space... Example is Berlin Templehof: https://goo.gl/maps/CP16sVHDdmQcnTVK7 They have a small refugee camp on there as well.

The SSD chips on the card were designed to work in Raid 0, 6 drives... calculate the risks haha. Will try a M2 disk soon, curious how they will work.

I guess the newer SSDs are more built to last. Running daily my Samsung SSDs for 7 years without big problems. Tried early PCI-E SSD with Raid 0 some years ago... died 3 times and got replaced 3 times as well. Always do your backups !

Had a lot of problems with the 7 as well... returned a new faulty one and got complete run down refurbished ones back, did it 5 times. Problem is still there. About the connections: So I found that the fix is doing a reset of all connection settings and re-pairing the devices. I am never going...

Maybe something to reconsider in the future; I am from NL as well and found the process long (Long as in waiting..) but pretty easy not complicated. If you need details, sent a private message.

Here in the Netherlands we have very restricted airspace. The whole area around Schiphol / Amsterdam has Class A starting from 1500ft to protect their arrivals and departures, in my opinion way too large Class A but OK... Flat land, so 1300 ft is 1300 AGL. Austro are the newest Diamond JET A1...

Yup, totally unannounced. A “new” thielert 1,7 JET A1 engine in a DA40 exploded. It was during cruise at 1300ft or so. Textbook landing In a field and no damage to the plane and no injuries to me and my passenger. The cause.. they say there was a piece of protection skin from one of the cables...

I had a birdhit during landing once, the bird hit the tip. No damage, bird was dead. Last month had a almost birdhit above the city... caught on the Gopro camera, check the shadow...

Sporty's SP-400 here in case of generator / com failure, checking the ATIS and for those long waits to get a startup clearance.... (yes, that is a real thing over here)
