From Budapest to Heviz/Balaton (Hungary) LHBP-LHSM

Flight took place on 21st of March 2017 Balaton is a long lake but very shallow. This winter it was frozen completely from shore to shore. The color of the ice was almost cyan blue. LHBP Dep13:30 LHSM Arr 14:15 VOR navigation. Weather clear. Actually I think I should copy paste METAR here for my future flights. Just thought of it now.

From Rzeszow Jasionka Airport (Poland) to Nyiregyháza (Hungary) EPRZ-LHNY

A  beautiful morning to start a flight. Before arriving the weather turned to a full haze with very low visibility. I took a little detour to see Bodrogkeresztür but could not see anything there. Hardly could see mount of Tokaj. Found the airport in Nyiregyhaza thanks to X-Mapper. It was so foggy. Landing was ok, maybe a bit hard.

From Lublin (Poland) to Rzeszow Jasionka Airport (Poland) EPLB-EPRZ

Real weather was not accessible today for some reason. So I made the weather with X-plane. Overcast and nothing special. Flying Cessna feels now really easy. I decided to fly VFR using X-mapper Light for navigation.

From Bialystok Poland to Lublin Poland EPBK-EPLB

I had surprising problems and had to restart flight before arrival. X-plane forgot the yoke and controls were lost. Restarting and recalibrating helped. Annoying. Somehow leaving the yoke unattended for a longer period while flying on autopilot makes X-Plane ignore it completely.
