I think I am seeing something similar to that with mine KAP. Last few months it was becoming less and less reliable. First Heading Bug mode was out, latter NAV, eventually even ROL is dead most of the time (some six horizontal bars displayed on AP). Had it checked a week ago and neither KAP or HSI w...

Hi Antoine, not necessary thinking about taking someone with me. Was just wondering about the story I will need to have. How to extend something like Saturday beer with friends into a week of flying Lebanon journey? I am afraid getting “home clearance” for such trip will be far more difficult than a...

Hi Antoine, I just got to your trip report, and fortunatelly was late with spotting it. Thanks to that did not have to wait for next stages... Maybe one day I dare for some similar flying adventure. The main problem however, except some small issues :) like lack of IR etc is going to be what to tell...

Hi Thomas, At the beginnig sorry from my side, looks I am also late with reply for that kind invitation. Busy days currently, no occassions for flying and aviation related topics. So looks like new challange on a horizon - mountain flying... :) I will come back to you next year, as this one it may b...

Hi Ribin, Nice to meet you. Looks that you are a real remote "location" on this forum :) Although in fact everything depends on starting point :) If you get here from Australia I will get you to Kolobrzeg in my DA40, with pleasure. And in fact this is a nice seaside resort, look at the pic...

Hi Jean, Nice to see you, Belgium is indeed quite close, just for a trip. If you wish we can plan some summer weekend, starting EPOM, than flying Bagicz for Baltic Sea swimming. Bagicz is former military airstrip, 3 km from sandy beaches of Kolobrzeg resort, my favourite place for weekend flying. Yo...

Hello, As Kai already pointed, EPOM is in some center of Poland. Grass field, 900m long, with nice refreshment facilities (playground for kids, restaurants etc.). In two years we will host FAI European gliding championships here. If not for the problem with open access to fuel I would recommend the ...

Hi Folks,
Happy to join the Diamond flying forum.

But well, I am here. At least you may count on support - beer etc. once travelling accross Poland...
