You lucky guys ;-). In Switzerland there is no such thing as an airport with no fees. Landing fees on ANY airport are somewhere between 20 and 60 USD. Courtesy cars or drinks or anything alike doesn't exist at all.... That's one of the reasons why I like flying in the US. Rgds Stephan ... And...

Hi I'm a PPL pilot based in Switzerland and I'll be coming to the States next week to do a 5 day round trip in the Northeast. One leg will take me to the Niagara Falls. I have of course taken a look at the restrictions as set out in 93.71 but since this seems to be quite a congested area...

Hi Everybody Thank you for your answers. At least it doesn't seem to be THAT clear after all. And when in doubt I will just go for the standard procedure. A foreign pilot carrying out strange procedures is probably all you need :wink2:. Rgds Stephan

Hi Here's two other pictures I took a couple of weeks ago, and see, nevertheless I'm looking forward to the end of July, when I'll be flying in the US again. Best regards Stephan

yep, 14 CFR Part 61, Section 61.75 is the one.

Thanks everybody. That gives me the picture. Grant: Thanks for the information regarding WINGS. However, I'm actually not looking to extend my BFR-period. Although, to answer your question, I do fly in Switzerland on a regular (low-time) basis, approx. 50 hours a year, I feel it makes sense...

Hi folks I have a question, which must sound quite trivial for you, but since I'm a foreign pilot I'm not that familiar with some of the stuff which is obvious to you. Therefore my question: I was in the States last year to get my validation of my JAR-licence. One part of the validation...

I perfectly agree with sc freiburg. If the 152 would have seen that cub gets in problems he would have had the option to go around. As long as a go around is possible without any danger (and if -as in this case- the runway between the twpo planes is sufficient) I don't see a real danger. Whether...

Hi I'll be doing some cross-country flying in the states in July. For the longer legs I would love to have some music from my iphone on my headsets. The thing is, that I have two requirements that should be met: first, the music should autmatically fade away when ATC comes on and second, the...

and I forgot to answer your question: I'm from Switzerland and I'll be over there from next Tuesday to Sunday to get my JAR-licence FAA-validated. Stephan

Hi Thanks to all of you. I'll go and check out the various weather sites that you told me and I'm sure that I'll find one or the other that gives me the information. Thanks again, that's a great help. I'll be flying from Lincoln Park, NJ, so my routes will mainly take me to the Finger Lake...

Hi Since I'll be in the US next week I have one final question and I hope that you will be able to help: Apart from ASOS/AWOS, 1-800-wx-brief, flight following enroute, etc. (which are the main weather sources that I learned from the book), what are the more informal weather resources that you...

Hello Everybody Thanks for the hint regarding the charter agreement. In the meantime I have reviewed it, and indeed, under the agreement it is not admissible to land on grass strips. So no farm strip flying for me... Anyway, best regards Stephan

Mike, I was actually hoping on a plane where I don't have to wear a helmet... :yikes: But I'll look out for your flying pile of poles. Stephan

Hi Areeda Thanks for the information, and yes, I have gone through all the paperwork. I'm from Basel myself and if the guy you're talking about hasn't been too long ago, then I probably know him. Actually he's flying in California right now. His name is Pio, if it's the same guy. Rgds Stephan

Hi Mike I'll be flying out of Lincoln Park. Always open for suggestions! Rgds Stephan

Thx for your responses. I'll check that with the FBO. Best regards Stephan

Hello Everybody I'm from Switzerland, holding a JAR-PPL licence and I will come to New Jersey in June to get the FAA-validation (which basically consists of the BFR). Since I'll be doing some flying anyway I intend to Charter a plane for two days and do some extended trips. While looking...

Bar and B-B-Q is definitly an option besides flying! I will let you know as soon as my plans develop. Stephan

Thanks again!
