Lelystad-Teuge

We made an overland flight to Teuge, the airfield closest to ours. It was a very sunny but cold morning, a snow front was comming in from the north so we decided to do a touch and go at Teuge and immediately headed back for Lelystad. We had a crosswind of 20mph so we had to use almost all of the rudder. The trip itselfs was very hectic again, there are lots of things to do and to take into account when you are a beginner. I guess that in time it will become as easy as driving the car.

First overland

Time to do my first trip to another airfield. So I had to make a flightplan for Hoogeveen (EHHO). On the way over there we had to wind exactly in our back (240/30) so it took about 40 minutes including taxiing, we landed, paid our landing-rights and took a cup of coffee. When we headed back we faced the wind so it took over an hour. It was real fun to do a trip from one airfield to another and back. There is a lot more to it than just flying some circuits, new where the radio procedures with DutchMill and the approach of another airfield. This trip added 2 hours to my flight log, at a price though, a trip like this costs almost 400 euros nowadays.
