Hello, The following scenario: You fly through 5000 ft (transition altitude) and change to 1013.2 hpa. You then climb to FL55 for the cruise flight. However, since the transition level is at least FL60, I'm wondering when you should then return to the QNH, or whether you're even allowed to fly in the transition layer….
Dear private pilots. I'm planning to purchase a subscription for ICAO charts in Europe. For my purposes, I only need them for visual flight or NVFR. Currently, two providers have caught my eye: SkyDemon and Foreflight. I've heard from several flight instructors that they use SkyDemon successfully. However, our flight school offers a 30% discount…
If a VFR pilot wants to fly with their small aircraft, they have to prepare a detailed flight plan. I've noticed that everyone does it differently: some do it more digitally, some still use a lot of paper, some less detailed, some very detailed… What is the legal regulation regarding the minimum that one must…
Do all separation minima (runway separation, radar separation, wake turbulence separation) have to be met at all times? LG Finn
I've heard that every pilot plans his flights differently. Is flight planning mandatory? If so, what are the aviation laws regarding this? What should flight planning look like, because every pilot does it differently. Some do it with iPad apps, others only with paper charts, etc. Do you learn digital vision in flight school or…
I once went to a small airfield in Croatia. The airfield is called LDPM. Many planes landed there, but when I looked it up on the internet there was no frequency for the airfield, no traffic pattern, etc. Now I wonder how people fly there?
When two pilots are talking on an air-to-air frequency and there happen to be other pilots nearby on an air-to-air frequency… How would this be handled, given that radio has a long range?
How does a pilot know that he has to give 5 minutes notice? How do you calculate this as a VFR pilot?
Do other countries have something similar to Langen Info? So, only for VFR pilots. And is Langen information mandatory or can you fly without radio if you are not in a control zone?
I once saw a video on YouTube where pilots flew together in a formation abroad. (VFR) In between, they talked to each other on a special frequency and discussed what they were doing. I thought that in VFR you could only leave the frequency with permission?
I've seen in many VFR videos that hobby pilots always have an iPad with an app that allows them to navigate on a map using GPS. So, an ICAO map, so to speak. Do pilots even have to carry the correct ICAO charts (the 8 available in paper form for Germany)
If you want to fly somewhere as a pilot, for example abroad. For example, you can find everything you need for flight planning here. The NOTAMS (A, B, C, D) are also below. But there's something from December there. Is that still current?
