May 2009:

Picture of the month: Easter VFR flight from Belgium EBWE to Hungary LHKV fuel stop in Suben Austria.
Pictures taken 10th of April 2009 at FL100 enroute to Mariazell in Austria. Still a lot of snow on the Austrian Mountains. MSA in that area is 8200 Ft
Like the big Jets a Taifun Pilot needs to plan his top of descend, it took us about 60 Nm from final destination with a groundspeed of 130Kts to get down from FL100 to 1500 Ft.
A Taifun has a glide ratio of 1/30. Picture made by Luc Vermeulen
