![]() ![]() Options for our fuel stop were the Northwest of Italy (for example Voghera LILH, or even Albenga LIMG) or if we could stretch it, Calvi LFKC, on Corsica. ![]() Our “final” destination of the day was Olbia (LIEO) in the northeast of Sardinia. On the day of our departure (Sunday 24th), the weather was very good all across Germany and also south of the Alps. Unfortunately – this only to a certain degree obviously – I couldn’t really put it to test, since there just wasn’t any weather around at all. The ADL box chucks away nicely in the centre console of the SR22, leaving you with just the satellite antenna, which has to sit on the glareshield, under the windscreen (I tried to put it into the centre console, but it wouldn’t pick up any satellites from there). On this trip, I had a demo unit of Sebastian Golze’s ADL unit on board: Weatherwise, even that flight could have been done VFR. This trip’s flights were all done VFR, the only exception being the first flight from Luebeck to Calvi, which was done under IFR for better airspace access in the Frankfurt and Milan areas. One day later we flew back to Germany, with a stop at Portoroz (again for fuel, lunch and a swim). After two and a half days on the Costa Smeralda, we flew up towards Tuscany, where we ended up visiting several small airstrips. Some flexibility is called for, but sooner or later, one somehow manages to reach all those eyeballed destinations…Īs a short summary, from Luebeck (Northern Germany), we flew to Calvi (for fuel, lunch and a swim) and then on to Olbia in Sardinia. Well, that’s sometimes the way it goes in light GA touring. The weather in England would have been rather cold and miserable, so I had to re-plan once again and this time, it looked perfect down in Sardinia. The last week of August, a trip to the Southwest of England (Cornwall and Devon) was planned, but as you all know, summer said goodbye to northern Europe much too soon this year. Well, at the time, the weather was a bit unstable over there, so instead, I ended up doing a fantastic trip to France and Spain. Readers might remember last June when I had planned to fly to Sardinia. ![]()
