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.

From Kaunas Latvia to Bialystok Poland EYKA-EPBK

Rain
No airfield just fields
Flying in the middle of clouds at 3000 ft. Nothing to see, but still fun to navigate. Finding the airfield was a challenge, because it is just a strip of grass with no visible markings on ground.
