Lelystad-Teuge

Beautiful spring day today. Sunny and a little breeze from the east (100/10). At home I had already adopted my flightplan for this wind direction and level. We made the trip to teuge, paid the landing fees and headed back immediately. I have to work on my timming (picking up course, radio, etc) in a way that things do not interfere with each other. In all everything went fine and next time I am going there on my own. Just to be on the safe side I will figure out how to work the VOR in the meantime...

VFR in the snow

It is hard to navigate when everything is covered with snow. You miss all your regular landmarks and it is difficult to distinguish between land and water. We made an effort to fly to Teuge (EHTE) inbetween two snow showers but on the way there visibility got worse and worse. So we decided to turn arround and head south to a low-flying area to practice some emergency landings. Everything went quite well. Hope to finish the trip to Teuge next time.
