Godt å komme seg i lufta igjen! - Årets første tur 2025
Jeg har ikke vært i lufta siden i fjor, så det va godt å starte året med en flytur! Faktisk ble jeg første flyet som tok av fra Haugesund Lufthavn, Karmøy i 2025.

Choosing a digital logbook - updated for 2025
My previous post about digital logbooks is the most viewed post I have on this blog, and it’s time to write an updated version of it. In addition to updating information about the various providers, I’ve also decided to write a bit more around digital logbooks in general, the regulations, and the pitfalls.

Road to FI - Summary
Now that I’m finally done, and the only two things remaining are getting the night instruction endorsement and become unrestricted (probably going to take a while), it’s time to share the summary of what I’ve done and how much it cost.

Slik skifter du sertifikatmyndighet
En av fordelene med at vi er en del av EASA, er at vi har tilgang til et åpent marked for både opplæring, undersøkelser og eksaminasjoner og også for myndigheter. Det betyr at vi selv kan velge hvilken sertifikatmyndighet vi ønsker å benytte. I sommer startet jeg prosessen med å flytte pilotsertifikatene mine til Transportstyrelsen, den svenske kompetente myndigheten. Nå som jeg har prøvd den svenske myndigheten i noen måneder, er det på tide å dele litt erfaringer.

Vinteren er her igjen
Plutselig var vinteren her igjen, noe tidligere enn forventet egentlig. Men selv om jeg ikke er veldig glad i snø, er vinteren den fineste årstiden å fly på. Så lenge man kommer seg gjennom den vanskelige og kalde biten på bakken, med frossen hangarport, kald motor og glatt underlag, er det rett og slett vakkert i lufta. Rolig luft, klar sikt og et lyst og fint landskap. Så i dag ble det rett og slett flytur til frokost!

Aviation Safety Week og GA-konferansen 2024
I fjor deltok jeg på GA-konferansen for første gang, og siden da har det skjedd en del. Relativt kort tid etter forrige konferanse ble jeg ansatt i NLF, og i dag har jeg hjulpet til med arrangementet som ansatt. I tillegg har jeg deltatt på Aviation Safety Week for første gang. Det har med andre ord blitt nesten en hel uke på Gardermoen.

En gammel kjenning i nye farger
For noen uker siden kom LN-HOG tilbake etter et lengre opphold på Rakkestad. Sist flyet var her, var det lett gjenkjennelig og ganske unikt i fargene. Tilbake kom det som så ut som et nytt fly. Helt andre farger, og en finnish som ikke kan sammenlignes. I dag var det endelig vær nok til at jeg kunne få prøvd en liten tur i nye farger.

Road to FI - Fifth and final exam sitting (CPL theory)
About one month and one week after the previous sitting, I was ready to give the last exam another try. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in Aviationexam, and greatly improved my average score there. This time I had a good feeling, but the pressure of this being the final exam made me quite nervous.

Stenbäcks Flygmuseum
Stenbäcks Flygmuseum is a relatively small museum, but what they lack in size they make up for in stories and number of various artifacts. We visited outside the normal opening hours, and got a private tour and got to hear the stories behind the various aircraft and aircraft parts/artifacts at the museum. Well worth the visit!

Another flight from Teuge
We have a very late summer vacation this year, and this year we went on a road trip to the Netherlands. While here, I figured it would be fun to get in the air if I could. Yesterday I did a flight at E-Flight Academy, and today I did a flight at Special Air Services - both at Teuge Airport.

E-Flight Academy
We have a very late summer vacation this year, and this year we went on a road trip to the Netherlands. While here, I figured it would be fun to get in the air if I could. When I realized that we would be staying right next to one of the World’s few electric aviation schools, I just had to make this happen!

Ikke riv infrastrukturen vår!
Jeg har skrevet om det flere ganger tidligere (Leirin, Bømoen, Kjeller og Geiteryggen), den stadig voksende listen over truede småflyplasser. Luftsport er også sport, og flyplassene er våre idrettsanlegg - dette er våre fotballbaner, for å si det på et språk som alle forstår.

Nationaal Militair Museum
The Nationaal Militair Museum is a military museum, focusing on the Dutch military. The museum is situated at the old decommissioned Soesterberg Air Base, and there is a considerable amount of aircraft at this museum. The museum is very family and kid friendly, with a large playground in the center of the museum and a nice little café.

Aviation Megastore
Aviation Megastore has been on my “must visit”-list for a long time. And since our vacation this year was a road trip to the Netherlands, I finally managed to add a short stop here to our plan.

Avidrome
Avidrome is the Dutch aviation museum, and in addition to being a very large aviation museum, a lot of fun for the entire family. The museum is very family and kid friendly, with a lot of activities and playgrounds spread out across the museum. The museum is spread across several buildings, with activities and aircraft in between. There’s also a nice viewing platform overlooking the runway of the busy Lelystad airport.
