Back to Europe

From the African bush into European skies ·

2014/04/15

Before I left for the African adventure the system here in Hungary was governed by ICAO, providing a more or less well functioning aviation scene. Then came the JAA, Hungary was accepted, and I was lucky enough to be home for a couple of months to quickly convert my licence. Then back in the bush. And then the whole Europe became EASA-land, the aviation world became dictated by - seemingly - outsider bureaucrats. But was lucky again to convert my licence into an EASA one... Just letting the A/P do

He followed his dreams and today he soars above us aboard the ISS - this is his third space flight - and provides tremendous motivation for everyone down here.

Quick peek into the Tanzanian system

2012/11/13

Mambo! From all the countries I know here in Africa, the Tanzanian license conversion seems to be the easiest. Some people will surely argue on that, but consider this: Botswana and Namibia does not allow you to convert your commercial pilot license only if you are already hired by a company, have a proper visa or work permit, blabla. Jongomero, Ruaha Here in Tanzania you can walk in to the TCAA (Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority), sign up for the commercial exam, pay the fees and you're up

I hear lots of times that taking off is easy, you just push the throttle all the way and let the airplane fly. Yeah baby! Or maybenot? Let's see the case of the soft field takeoff. It can be applied not only if the surface is soft - like sand or wet mud - but in case it is rough,stony or the grass is long. In case of rough, stony runway with a normal takeoff we are stressing the tires, landing gear and theprop as well. If the runway is soft, wet or the grass is long then the problem is even
