View at Arenas Negras ( last eruption 1706).
Behind it, you can see volcano Chinyero. At this place, in 1909 the last registered eruption in Tenerife took place. 🌋 Now it’s a very nice place for walking in the nature 😅

Well. I have decided to my make my second compilation of my flights. As I’ve found music that I loved, and thought it would be great in the video, I started to edit it, and here it is: my second compilation: Up in the air.
I hope you’ll enjoy it! I would be thankful for any good ideas (or send me a link of yours if you have one…).
Safe flying!
Wanted to share with you a timelapse from one of my latest flights around Tenerife.
It is called Around “Tenerife in 2 minutes”, and actually exactly in 1 minute and 50 seconds we will overfly 170 kms of the coast Tenerife.
Hope you´ll enjoy it!
Safe flights!

I went out for some touch and goes with the Cessna. It was fun. Practicing engine failures in the cirquit, full flap, flap zero…
And after a short flight above Anaga mountains, above the clouds, feeling like in the heaven…
The Cessna is pretty photogenic, so my Gopro’s have taken louds of great pictures which I am happy to share with you now.
There was even a Nikon camera on board, so even more nice pictures could have been taken…
Safe landings!
Feels like heaven

Why to become a private pilot? Or why I fly…
I enjoy the views from above, I enjoy to play with the clouds, to surf between the clouds, to feel free, to follow procedures and so on.
The list would be very long.
That’s why I’ve tried to make a compilation of my flights to share with you some of my flying adventures and tell you why I fly and whye it’s worth it to become a private pilot.
I hopy you will enjoy it!
Safe flights!

Sometimes I was thinking that it could be boring to fly on a island, because it would be always the same, flying around, but I have to admit, until now there were no 2 equal flights.
I saw a lot of nice pictures taken with the gopro installed on Cessna’s horizontal stabilizer, so I decided to try it out.

I was a bit concerned if it would have any influence on the controls during the flight, but it was absolutely no problem.
The friendly ATC let us climb up to FL80, and we were able to take some nice pictures during the flight around the island’s mighty Mt. Teide (almost 13’000 feet high).
We were able to fly 6’000 feet above our home base airport and take some nice pictures. It was really an amazing view.

Here some more pictures from the flight around Tenerife with the Gopro Hero on our Cessna.
I am very happy that everything worked as planned and I was able to enjoy a nice flight in good weather conditions, however the approach was a bit bumpy…
Here are some more pictures from the flight, hope you’ll enjoy them!
