On Saturday 30 September, our club (based on an airfield with tarmac) took a few aircraft and did an informal landing competition: two regular landings and two power-off landings, one of which without flaps. One of our members produced this nice little film from the event. Sadly, it doesn't include the highlight: the post-landing BBQ. :D

Thanks to Robin Johansson, our film maker!

Lovely video and airfield......

However, those concrete blocks look like they may concentrate the mind somewhat in a crosswind :mrgreen:

Forgot to mention: the airfield is ESGA Uddevalla/Backamo. It's some 20 minutes by air from our home field ESGP Göteborg/Säve. There's a club and some private aircraft based there and a café (not affiliated with the airfield) not far away. The operator allows TGL every other weekend on a PPR-basis; he wants to keep the peace with the neighbours. This was the third time this season we did this.

The concrete blocks may look forbidding, but it's quite a wide strip. We had some 14-15 knots crosswind from the right on final on Saturday; a little less when coming below the trees.
