24 hours in Switzerland
Basel, Switzerland
The plan was to fly to Switzerland via one of the many available entry points, either Basel-Mulhouse, Zurich or Bern, the latter two expensive if direct from Schengen or wishing to park for 2 nights.
I flew in Basel-Mulhouse many years ago for a well-known UK airline. This was well before I had even gained an Instrument Rating and knew that it was possible to fly light General Aviation into big airports, such as ones that share borders.
Our departing flight was delayed by thunderstorms, and our return trip was affected by IFR slots. This trip was remarkable.
PPL/IR Europe Annual Conference 2024′
Hamburg, Germany
I joined PPL/IR Europe in October 2022, which is open to any GA pilot interested in operating light aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) in Europe, making PPL/IR Europe the home of GA IFR pilots in Europe.
PPL/IR Europe was set up originally by a group of friends who had obtained their instrument qualifications and used them to travel around Europe.
In early 2024, the event PPL/IR Europe Annual Conference was advertised and scheduled to take place in June of that year, coincidentally in Hamburg.
