    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.
  6. 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.

    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...
  16. 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.

    I flew to Biarritz, then north to Deauville - Normadie, east to Saarbrücken and then home with basically the same view Hours and hours for three days of nothing but high fog to the horizon in every direction. It was eerie...

    He's a very experienced flight instructor and apparently a super nice guy. I think that he couldn't believe it happened to him -- or at least with him in the right seat. This was a familiarisation flight into a tricky airport. Notice that there is no chance for a go around. They were both so focused on not messing up the approach that they completely tuned out the gear alarm.

    That's ok. @Mooney in Oz and @Joshua Blackh4t can see them correctly!

    Granola bars, water, oxygen boost, batteries.

    Haha! I love the fuzzy dice!

    Back in April I got this beauty of a briefing. The NOTAMs were 20 pages long, at least in plain English, and very repetitive. It was a challenge to get through. I wish I had a relief pilot to hand it over to. LOWS-LZIB HBDFA 05-APR-2024 1200 Bonforte ROCKETROUTE.pdf

    Didn't @Jose Jo just buy an N reg? He's based in Portugal. Maybe he can help...

    This happened to me for my PPL check ride. It was so unnerving! At the end, the guy complained about my American accent when I spoke on the radio. He said it made me sound like I knew what I was talking about when I really had no clue. Afterwards, my actual examiner pulled me aside and told me to ignore that guy. He said, "you sound very professional on the radio, but you're just starting out. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help if you need it."
