I used to hang out at a small field outside London, and even though it was (ostensibly) the same language I am used to, the words, sequence of transmissions, and cadence made it difficult for me to understand. Because this country is so large, we do not appreciate how familiarity makes ATC communication easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeJee Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Hello, My name is Pieter and I cross Europe approx. 10 times a year from EHRD (Rotterdam) to LFMF (Fayence) in the south of France. When I was working I flew my Ovation 2 from England to Poland, Austria and over the Alps to Verona. Luckily I bought my Ovation in Austin Tx with TKS, which in my few is really necessary in Europe when you fly IFR. Actually new in this community, but already flying in Europe since 2008. Is there a European meeting in 2023? Regards Pieter 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to Munster. It would be nice to meet you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
