Arne ultimate freedom then, serious question: do you lean peak EGT to clean the plugs while taxi on frozen lakes ?

No, we use unleaded AVGAS – Hjelmco 91/96UL. :-)

am wondering how an insurance company reacts to a mishap

I called them specirfically to ask the question, and they are fine with it. As long as you have done the pre-flight verifications mentioned, it makes no difference if you land on a frozen lake or in your friends field.

I always lean on the ground, whether I have 100LL or 91UL in the tanks. I don’t actively look for peak EGT though, just pull mixture to half-ish.

Just joking if hot EGTs would melt a forzen lake

Spring is on the way

Fly Ins on frozen lakes this year

On my bucket list now! How cool! Can you „just do this“ or any requirements?

same in Estonia

Cool, adding Estonia to the list. What is happening in your picture? Ice thickness check?

De Gaulle frequency still eerily quite

Thanks for posting those pics, fond memories of this view when based in CDG.
