Flight from EDST -> EDPH

On 2014-08-24, I flew in a C152 from Hahnweide  (EDST) to Schwabach-Büchenbach(EDPH). Interestingly enough, EDPH is actually next to Gauchsbach, and not to Büchenbach.

Route:

  • Hahnweide  (EDST)
  • Göpping
  • Heubach (EDTH)
  • following A7 until VOR Dinkelsbühl (a radio beacon)
  • turned east at VOR Dinkelsbühl
  • found the railway station of Triesdorf as navigation landmark
  • Schwabach-Büchenbach (EDPH)

Visibility was good, and en route, it was a bit windy.  The runway in EDPH is not too long, and during landing, the wind had dwindled down. It worked out just perfectly  — to land I needed less than half of the runway. On the way back, I saw distant rain.
