EDME is usually the first airfield in the region to open up as, unlike EDDM, EDMS and EDML, it does not have larger bodies of water in the vicinity.
EDME is currently 6000m, 800ft overcast and seems to be improving.
EDMS is 3200m and 200ft overcast.
I will handle it like Alexis and drive to EDML later. If the weather is flyable at both locations I will take the plane, if not I will come by car to either EDMS or EDMA.
We’ll be at EDML around 11:45. If we need to go by car we can all go in ours. But I bet it will be flyable later today …
But I bet it will be flyable later today …
I should think so, too. But with fog you never know. The glider guys at EDML are pulling their planes out which is usually a good indicator of the weather to come.
Wife and daughter will be coming along but their plan is, depending on timing, to support the local economy in either Landshut or Straubing.
Was a great day out. Nice to meet some faces from the forum I haven’t met and see others I haven’t seen in a while.
Lots of Schnitzel was consumed.
Was an approach to minimums due to slant angle (and the silly high LPV minimums at EDMS) but kept improving and was VFR with sunshine when we left. Nice flight there and back with @Rob2701. Oxford even turned on the sunshine for our return.
Yes, that was great. Half an our after arrival at EDMS there were Blue Patches in the Sky and the approacsh was way above minimum then.

The man and the incredible Flying Machine!
Well, in this case I was the junior partner, I guess :-)

Of course we all wanted a tour. That “new” smell is definitely nice, but so is the whole plane. Great Cockpit and panel, and a very nice cabin
Hey, Peter! Why didn’t you come? ;-)
All I know is that the PA46 and CE510 arrived by air. The airport was noticeably absent of TB20s and Cirri (Alexis did however depart by air). I don’t want to draw any conclusions but…. 
For fairness, no TTx was there either…..

Self-powered FOD…
Yes, could have flown, but IME fog almost never clears when forecast. I have done numerous diversions to Biggin due to fog, each costing a few hundred quid (taxis at £100 each way, etc). I wonder what tomorrow’s return wx will be like. I spent today wiring up a greenhouse!
Here was our trip back by the way.

Like that?
