Possibly a brutal question but what did it cost you to fly your plane for 14 days? Possibly do a breakdown of your costs and make a video out of this? I think many would be interested in that. But this was a top video, fun to watch!
thanks for writing and glad you enjoyed! I spent around 800 Euros in fuel (flew approx 30 hours, I think this plane only burned 13,5 litres per hour), very few airports charged me for the night parking and spent in total around 200 Euros, about 1000 Euros in accomodation/meals .. if you use Booking.com at the very last moment you find amazing discounts, so I would literally book hotels as I arrived into the city. I actually got paid by sponsors so ended up making money at the end!
Hi! Nice flight, congratulations. It would be interesting to post, or alternatively to get in touch about the list of things you took with you for the entire trip. Like documents, tools, must haves, and many other things you would like to have next time. Much appreciated, thanks
thank you Bogdan! must haves: portable fuel tanks (bag format), updated AirNav Pro maps on the ipad, getting clearance to fly from the various aviation authorities at least 2 weeks ahead of the flight (many countries will not accept a ULM unless you have written consent, like in Spain…). A bag with 1 week of clean clothes, and that’s it! :)
I have an EASA PPL license (also a FAA CPL and Costa Rica CPL) and I did submit flight plans (mostly using the SkyDemon App) and yes you can cross *some* borders with an Ultralight license but you cannot fly in controlled airspace, which makes it pretty limiting.
I know! :( unfortunately I had to skip a few nations as it would have taken too long! Portugal is beautiful though, I drove through most of it.. Cheers
Hi Angelo, great video and you make this look so easy, I start my training January 24 and cant wait to get started but I’m really concerned about talking ATC, its like another language and all seems so fast for it to register and catch everything they say, any tips on conquering this.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Talking to ATC seems harder than it really is! The amount of terms used is very limited, it's just a matter or memorizing them and learning to speak them. There are a ton of videos on TH-cam which help you practice (like this for example: th-cam.com/video/4AwAxsfCBuA/w-d-xo.html). I found that listening to real-life Live ATC online helped a lot: www.liveatc.net/ Simulate actually speaking while you listen to these communications and you'll get your brain tuned to them! Happy flights!
Hi Angelo, I am planning to own UL and regularly fly between IRL, UK FR NL BE and PL. Could you share your experience with flight plans etc? I was not thinking I would need to give 2 weeks notice each time I enter any of the countries
hi! you can find all the information for each country on this useful PDF: www.ulm-fournet.com/documents/MLA_flying_in_Europe1.pdf and here is up to date information as well: www.theeuropaclub.org/flying/country-specific-information
sometimes it’s not possible unfortunately, for example flying from the UK to the Netherlands would not be allowed nor possible on this aircraft but I had safety gear inside the plane in case of an emergency sea landing
Super adventure in a very nice aircraft. Nicely filmed and presented. Thank you !
I’m glad you enjoyed! thank you!!
What a wonderful video. Thank you Angelo.
thank you so much Kerry!
Belo roteiro e viagem, lugares lindos e maravilhosos, parabéns.
Cracking video, really informative and interesting, not sure why there are so few views of it.
thank you so much!
Beautiful journey, thanks for sharing! How did you go about planning the route and getting to know the air fields along the way?
thank you Patrick! I used an iPad app called SkyDemon to plan the routes and airfields where I could land! another great app is ForeFlight

and in the US this is not an ultralight aircraft it would be called a light sport .. i have flown an ultralight . the kind with fabric wings
Did you fly with an ultralight licence? I thought you can't cross borders with those and you don't need to submit flight plans?

Hello there! I know that catalan have a difference with castil language, But I think it is more music in it :)
Very nice film of your trip, great combo of lfying and destination clips! A question: what fuel did you tank? Was it AVGAS or UL91 / E95/98?

@@AngeloMagni that's very useful. Many thanks I will keep those pdfs
Hi Angelo! How many languages do you need to speak to communicate with all the air traffic controllers around the EU? Do they all speak english?
hey Dennis! They all speak English luckily : )
Over the sea you whould be high enough to glide to shore if engine fails.I see you weren't abiding by that safety rule...
sometimes it’s not possible unfortunately, for example flying from the UK to the Netherlands would not be allowed nor possible on this aircraft but I had safety gear inside the plane in case of an emergency sea landing
That is ultra light? I don't understand that looks to me as regular civil plane
yes it's an ultralight : ) ProMecc Sparviero 80HP
