Danke!

Thanks 😅

Danke :), ... nur über die VFR Route, die entlang der Donau verläuft.

Appreciate the feedback!

Thank You!

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that!

I'm very glad to hear that! If you could tell me what you liked most and maybe what additional features you think would be useful, that would be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately, we have no TCAS. Probably never will. But we are still happy with the additional situational awareness that SafeSky gives us.

Sunday ... That's tomorrow. It will be warm tomorrow and LOGM is at a high elevation. So you will face an even higher density altitude. And there are mountains all around. That's why the pattern has a 'dent'. Just make sure to double-check all your performance calculations. Otherwise have fun! LOGM is one of my favorite airfields! Last time we were there, they offered us bikes for free and we could pedal to Erlaufsee (approx 20 minutes by bike) which was awesome.

@@FlyingRagilein I'm watching the weather develop, there are still TCUs along our route from LZDV, and the winds are rather strong, but Sunday should be calmer, cloudless, a window of opportunity. I would have preferred the RWY15 approach like you did, but winds appear to demand RWY33. We'll carry enough fuel to return if it does not look good. Thank you again for the video!

@@FlyingRagilein Well, everything went beautifly, the weather was a little bumpy and more clouds than I expected, but the airport is truly amazing and the approach for 33R was very nice and not too hard. Very nice people too!

@@tomash9116 Good to hear! Glad you enjoyed it! What aircraft are you flying?

@@FlyingRagilein A Slovak-made Viper SD4, a rental of our school. My friend decided to go to Mariazell tomorrow after I told him how beautiful it was.

Thanks! If you are interested and devote some time for it, then you will surely make it. Interesting and exciting times lay ahead of you. Take your time and enjoy every bit of it! Just don't forget to look out of the window, don't get low and slow and don't fly into bad weather.

@@FlyingRagilein Thank you! I'm a huge aviation nerd so I'm sure I'll absorb the information like a sponge haha. Great advice, fly safe!

Hallo! Ich vermute mal, Du hast eine PPL(A) Lizenz und eine Klassenberechtigung für SEP(land). Deine Lizenz gilt lebenslang aber Deine Klassenberechtigung ist abgelaufen. Um wieder alleine fliegen zu dürfen, müsstest Du ein paar Flugstunden mit einem Lehrer (FI oder CRI) in einer Flugschule machen und dann eine praktische Prüfung. Am besten, Du gehst in eine Schule Deiner Wahl. Die schauen sich dann Deine Erfahrung etc an und machen sich mit Dir ein individuelles Programm aus. Das schöne an der Sache: Du kommst sofort in die Luft und kannst mit Deinem Lehrer daran arbeiten, wieder zu einem sicheren Piloten zu werden.

@@FlyingRagilein Meine Befürchtung war, dass ich nach dieser Zeit wieder bei Null anfangen müsste, aber vor ein paar Tagen habe ich mich erkundigt und das selbe gehört, was auch Du jetzt geschrieben hast. Dadurch bin ich jetzt schon sehr erleichtert und werde es wohl in den nächsten Wochen wieder angehen.

that is da truth 😁

I fully agree. I've tried it twice, and I'm loving it sufficiently to decide to apply for LAPL!

"Just extend flight time" by how much? Current state of battery technology is not going to help here I'm afraid.

If the energy density of batteries could be doubled, that would be great. Hopefully, solid state batteries can deliver this in the not so far away future. Toyota has announced that they plan to produce solid state batteries in 2027. We will see, if this really happens. But if they succeed, this would increase the possible cross country flight time from currently about 30 min (with 30 min reserve) to 1 hour and 30 min. That would be enough for most of the flights I usually do.

Oh yeah. I have to admit, that I also did some videos with background music. But I learned from my own experience that I watch music videos if I want to hear music. And nothing beats native engine sound ;)

@@FlyingRagilein yeap :) BTW, how does it feel to fly it compared to a piston engine aircraft? Does it have more of a "turboprop feeling" to it?

@@amiramyss I'm afraid, I don't know how a turboprop feels, because I never had the chance to fly one. So I can only compare it to a piston engine a/c. Generally, an electric a/c produces less noise. The engine itself practically produces no noise at all and there is also no exhaust noise. However there is still some noise in the cockpit. Mainly from the propeller and from the wind. Due to the limited energy in the batteries, we always try to fly as economically as possible. Which means that we fly at about 70kt which consumes about 20kW. That's about the same power that an electric car uses at this speed. So it is a very relaxed flying. Less noise, less vibrations, no odours and a little slower than usual. Otherwise there is little difference from a piston engine a/c. In fact there is also a Rotax powered version of the Velis - the Virus.

@@FlyingRagilein Thanks for the video and the noise. By the way, which camera did you use? Sound is good, I have the impression to be in cockpit!

@@cyberlex72 A GoPro 7 Black. I like it.

Danke! Eine GoPro 7 black.

Our pleasure!

aufzeichnen schon aber nur für private Zwecke, man darf nichts veröffentlichen.

Mit dem Flieger zur Airpower. Hmmm... Coole Idee!

Hello my friend I have the g1000 student pro from flight 1 technology, I try to connect with MSFS 2020 but can’t cause I don’t any update can you please help how to use with the new MSFS

Auf der Sichtflugstrecke Freudenau/Klosterneuburg in max. 2.500 ft. Bis Freudenau bin ich auf Höhe der Holdings in 1.500 ft geblieben.

Cool! Learning to fly is such a great experience. Your dream may come true!

Even younger? ;)

absolutely, when I observe discussions about this topic, it often seems like people want to use both separately. But that isn't going to work as you pointed out. If you are too low on approach but speed is correct and you would try to correct only with power (for rate of descend),you would automatically gain airspeed because power only makes the aircraft climb indirectly. Before it can climb, it needs to accelerate. So this way, you will definitely mess up your airspeed or glidepath. You are right, they only work in conjunction.

You are both right. It is always both pitch & power. But what I discovered for me is, that I use pitch & power differently as primary and secondary glide path controls, depending on where on the approach I am. When I'm further out on the approach, I use power for glide-path and pitch & trim for airspeed. That' works good, because I have still a lot of time until touch-down and no reliable aiming point anyways. Therefore the lag between adding-/removing power and its effect on the glide path is no problem. So, far out, I handle glide path deviations more as an energy problem which I solve by power, and speed deviations as an AOA problem which I solve by pitch & trim. However, the closer to the runway I come, the more important becomes the aiming point. When I'm close to the RWY, trying to nail the aiming point on its position with power-changes does not work for me. On short final, it's much easier to control the glide path with pitch. So that's what I do. And small deviations in airspeed are then corrected by power. So, close to the RWY, I handle glide path deviations more as a flight path problem which I solve by pitch, and speed deviations as an energy problem which I solve by power.

Absolut. Nur der Turm warad ned grod glücklich damit.

No, unfortunately I have approximate data for the A211 only. But it's not 100% correct anyways. Fortunately, the underlying principle is the same for all aircraft and the forces are balanced in the same way.

@@FlyingRagilein danke, muss ja nicht unbedingt 100% korrekt sein wenn man damit dann das Prinzip verstehen kann, reichen auch 99% :D

99% might be a slight exaggeration ;)

You are right. On short final, when I use pitch for glide path, I have to use power for speed control. It's never "pitch only". Pitching up without adding power is a very bad idea (except you are too fast). But there are also situations where you have no power: Power off landings. Better be a little on the high side in these.

The thing is...no one only use pitch for glide path....

Indeed. Even if you have no power you probably will use flaps, spoiler or slipping if you need to steepen your glide path.

You can’t always get away with using power for glide path. Ever fly a pusher with a high drag (or thrust… I could’ve sworn the guy explaining it to me said drag…) line? Power causes the nose to pitch down instead of up. (And reducing it causes the nose to pitch up instead of down!) you will literally accelerate yourself into a crater…

Glad it helped!

You're welcome!

Danke. Freut mich!

Danke! Die Landegebühr ist ca. eur 150. Dafür bekommt man aber ein Follow-Me Car, das VIP-Terminal und eine bleibende Erinnerung ;) Tanken kann man aber nicht; Sprit gib't nur für die Grossen.

@@FlyingRagilein ok, doch deutlich günstiger als für eine C172 beispielsweise! Trotzdem weit entfernt von allen anderen Airports in Österreich...

@@oliverhalik1278 Wir Kleinstflieger sind eben nicht ihr Zielpublikum. Das sind die Grossen und die Biz-Jets.

@@FlyingRagilein macht nix. Drüber fliegen kostet nix extra 😊

@@oliverhalik1278 Ja; Noch. Unlängst hab ich am Funk gehört, dass ein Low-Approach mittlerweile etwas kostet. War bis vor kurzem noch gratis.

I'm currently not proficient enough for a Part 2. Maybe in the future.

Glad it was helpful!

Wir haben ca 150 EUR gezahlt (MTOW 750kg).

Danke! Die Flugzeit war 1 Stunde und 22 Minuten, wobei die Route relativ direkt war.

Oh yeah. I try not to get too rusty. Winter flying days are rare. Either there are low clouds/fog and icing or it's too windy (as today).

Thank you!

Thanks! Yeah, it's a pity. They did this really great App and then kind of abandoned it. Maybe they moved on to another project. But the visualization is really awesome. The physics does not seem to be 100% accurate but well enough to explain and visualize important aerodynamic concepts.

Thanks! Cool. Just checked your number. It's 100% accurate. Pressure on Mars is just 6hPa and gravity is about 0.38G.
