Recently I got asked by Air Navigation Pro to answer a couple of questions for their blog. I use their application for navigation on my Ipad during my fligths…
I got featured on their blog, and you can read the full story here: http://blog.airnavigation.aero/2017/12/air-navigation-pro-pilot-story_18.html
Safe flying! 🙂
About to touch and go at La Palma airport (GCLA)
In this short clip I’ll explain you how to calculate the true airspeed. Knowing the true airspeed and the ground speed, we can determinate whether we have headwind, or tailwind.
It’s very simple:
FL 75 (7.500 ft)
IAS = 90 kts
TAS = 100 kts (TAS inceases with increasing altitude)
GS = 109 kts
if
GS > TAS => have tailwind
GS < TAS => headwind
This means in our case, we have 9 kts TW (tailwind).
Fly safe! 😀
Sharing with you a short video of the approach into La Gomera airport (GMZ/GCGM), RWY 27 with ATC audio in spanish.
Like to fly to La Gomera, you always get a friendly “Welcome to La Gomera” by ATC over the radio. 🙂
Hope you’ll enjoy the views! 🙂
A short video o how Playa de las Américas looks like from the air.
Enjoy it!

Safe landings! 🙂
Just found some images from my earlier flights, when I was using the Gopro mounted on the wing…
I´d like to share with you these 4 images. I like the colour scheme. Hope you´ll enjoy them!

On this particular day, our initial intentions were flying from Tenerife North to Gran Canaria, but due to forcasted turbulence on the rute and more than 20 kts wind on approach we have decided to go to La Gomera.
Our vessel 🙂 PA28
It is quite airport, and you get always welcomed over the radio after landing.
Our journey took less than 1 hour, due to tailwind on our way to La Gomera.
Our route
Flying at 6’500 feet allows you a smooth ride, in this case a good tailwind and as well some safety factor in the case of engine failure.
Selfie with Mt. Teide
On our way down we have enjoyed some nice views of Teide and south of Tenerife:

On our way back to Tenerife we flew around La Gomera and along the north coast of Tenerife, enjoying more spectacular views…
Best place to see Tenerife is from La Gomera 🙂
