    Aha. I didn't see Charleroi. I just went to Brussels, which was a long, expensive taxi ride.
  2. Sue Bon
    Brussels is in Belgium - which is most definitely not located in Switzerland
  3. Sue Bon
    Why? I flew there last week...

    I asked ChatGPT to tell me about Brussels South Charleroi airport (EBCI) and it told me that it was important to note that it wasn't located in Switzerland.

    You showed excellent situational awareness, given the workload you had. Nice work.

    I have one controller over Zurich airspace that forces me to roll my r and say tree rather than three. After repeating the frequency 130.560 in my American accent, she will come back and say, "Hotel Foxtrot Alpha, one TDEE zedo" forcing me to say it back that way With all the US aircraft landing there, you'd think she'd be used to it, but I am Swiss, with a Swiss reg, so follow the rules I must.

    I usually say "confirm" rather than "say intentions." For example, in this scenario, "confirm heading 040 to intercept ILS runway 06."

    Someone once told me that when people realise that they've touched down with the gear up, they suddenly try to extend the gear, causing more damage than a clean gear-up. Maybe that's what happened here.

    Too soon?

    Oh, wow. Yikes. Yeah, that is bad. When I was talking about the landing fees I get, those come from the airports themselves, not a company that happens to be at the airport. Totally different animals. Those Vector Airport guys are jerks.
  14. Sue Bon
    Yeah... sorry... I do realise those guys are completely out of line. I was just wondering if they are providing a service or something, or if it's a rip-off scheme.

    As someone accustomed to paying landing fees at every airport (including my home airport), are these fees you should be paying anyways? I get bills in the mail or via email from airports all the time.

    True, but not always. Several times I've had to request clearance or other information in English. One time I flew to Reims (IFR) and didn't do my homework enough to see that radio calls are only in French from 1200-1330 LT. I was so very lucky to land at 1155!

    Are they? Flying in France is no cakewalk. It freaks me out every time I'm the only one speaking English on the frequency. I think I will go to Montpellier next year for a month of intensive French with private lessons focusing on aviation. I saw that Rouen has an excellent school for intensive learning, but your weather in November is not much better than ours, so the sunshine of Montpellier is attractive.

    Yes, and yes

    It was assigned by the Radiotelegraph Treaty of Washington in 1934. They replaced CH with HB, H for Helvitica and the B was just random, I guess. I'm not sure why they made the change. No other country has CH.

    Love that plane. Love that name!

    I've had to wait a couple of times for parts to be found and then shipped from the US. It's a minor inconvenience, but well worth having a Mooney.

    I absolutely love this photo. It should be something... A movie poster? Our banner? I don't know, but this photo is... just... captivating...
  24. Sue Bon
    I don't know about you, but for me the photos always look so much more benign than when you're actually up there... manoeuvring around them... Were you VFR?

    I had this problem for a while, but with banking to the left. My maintainer fixed it by trimming the rudder.
