Ultralight over Geneve

Hello all, just posting some photos of the long trip from LFLL to LSGG on an Ultralight, 30/40 KIAS max... so a long trip,

thank-you for approving my very limited performance & instruments VFR approach,

Cheers

If you are permitted to park in the grass you can watch the landings and take-offs:

Great day for ultralight flying...

P.S.: should have departed to LSGP instead of LFLI

nice shots!
It was a great and welcome challenge to guide you through all that traffic at such low speeds, but I've enjoyed ;)

I hope you didn't mind that the grass runway was probably not in good shape after such long time of no usage :D

Thank-you!

It is also a challenge to stay at 3000 ft... it is so limited, climbs are slow, but I was able to make an almost direct route, climbing enough to cross these ridges:

For this Ultralight, I would feel better in bad grass runways than concrete ones :) as soft as possible, a little bit scary to land so close to the surface if the surface is hard and can scratch you

Weather was worse in Saint Exupéry.
