Ultralight over Geneve

[Miguel Madruga]

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









Some of the photos are of SE and GE reporting points.









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

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.




Cheers!
