Me: Whats up, you go with me tomorrow to Bydgoszcz, fly a Cessna? I need a photographer.
"Re Mi": Cool, about which we train?
More or less looked our dialogue in the late evening 4tego March. Quick decision and the next day at 10:00 am check-in at Aeroclub Bydgoszcz - through the window I see new entrants into the aviation attentively listening to lectures to prepare them for practical training on aircraft and Licenses glider.
visit the office of the President, where he filed a flight plan, I calculate a route and generally doing all kinds of formalities - that no one said that flying just boarded a plane and flies ;-) itinerary for today, due to poor weather conditions can just to the north. Finally decides to Bydgoszcz - Tuchola - Grudziądz - Bydgoszcz, along the way touching on the immortal, of course, points VFR (Myslecinek, Maksymilianowo and Unisław).
Checking if a flight plan, and we went to the aircraft. Draw him out of the hangar, I review and after several minutes we establish connectivity from Bydgoszcz Tower ... Asking for permission to run and fly in the "dispatch" I get feedback about the departure possible only in conditions of "special VFR" or lows of under the weather. Knowing that the north at the exit of CTRu weather will be better, I agree to such a "system", most turning back - I thought.
Tower to announce that at the moment, flight is impossible due to the start of a helicopter air ambulance from a hospital in the city located on the route of our trip. Waiting for the "The rescuer second" land, and start warming up the engine. Moments later I hear in the headphones Eurocopter pilot applicant before the airport - will automatically get permission to depart.
air in this day an extremely turbulent - so after quite a long time I lift off in a straight line before I start turning on the road and hide flaps, carburetor heat-up is a necessity (which even reminds me of a colleague from the right seat ;-)). Rapidly reaches the point Mike, who have expressed a tower and go on with the connectivity information Gdańsk.
After about 25min. flight over forests achieve ubiquitous Tuchola. We make a circle and take the road towards Grudziądz. I use the facilities located there as a radio navigation aid, the so-called. VOR / DME, tune, and a further section of the instruments are made "straight."
Tuchola:
turbulence do not stop, and even they are getting worse - we were on board the "emergency bag" and just waited for my companion when I reach for her. Proved to be redundant, I'm really impressed by the strength of its stomach;)
After several minutes dolatujemy to, situated on the Vistula, Grudziądz - the weather here much better than in Bydgoszcz, excluding those described in turbulence ...
still observe the progress of construction of the A1 motorway. 1.5 years since I happen to fly over the surrounding area and I have the impression that everything was in place though ... "Dziurawsko - Pomorskie" commits to something:) We, however, that sometimes we take a course on the Uniform VFR point, or Unisław.
The closer the darker the clouds and the visibility is less, for 2 min. before him have expressed the FIS informant who puts us back on the frequency of 131.00 tower that is Bydgoszcz. We obtain consent for entry into controlled airspace and perform directly to the airport. Thanks to fly over the whole city until after the Fordon Szwederowo! And this is more than 15km.
submit a long landing straight in the direction 270 in Aeroclub. On the left admire the civilian part of the airport. Flaps, speed reduction, the fight against the wind with rudder, pedals and touch the ground - "and again it worked."
colleague breathes a sigh of relief - podkołowuje, fills the machine and we say goodbye to the president and say thank you. Despite the bad weather I'm very happy with the 1:30 h trip - an interesting route and not routine conditions. As the "Re Mi," a small air force has never flew - a trial I think is very worthy, turbulence in rejsówkach already rather not scary ;-)
Yours!
