Das war ein sehr interessantes Video. Ist mir noch nie aufgefallen, dass manche Hebel und Schalter die Form ihrer Funktion haben. Eine besondere Art der form follows function. Vielen Dank.
Good work! LSZF circuit pattern is quite tight, lots happening with little time in between tasks. Gets even more interesting when more aircraft is in the circuit plus others joining on the entry circle, it is not for the faint hearted 😂
Nice video. I am doing my theorie PPL at Birrfeld now and want to start the flying soon. Your video is very helpful for the traffic pattern at Birrfeld! You fly at Birrfeld as home airfield?
Hi Martin! First of all, LSZF has an entry circle. That means if you approach the aerdrome and there is too much traffic in the circuit, you stay in the entry circle at 2500 ft - meaning 500 ft above circuit altitude (entry circle for vertical separation). If the traffic situation allows, you can join the downwind by descending to 2000 ft. Secondly, there is also a separation procedure within the circuit - but you have to orbit to the inner part of the circuit for noise prevention (inner orbit for horizontal separation). That can end in a situation where you are orbiting at 2000 ft (e.g. if the plane in front of you is slower on downwind) while having landing planes below you and circling planes above you at 2500 ft (entry circle). And you have to pay attention to the gliding sector as well. During busy times, it can look like a swarm of bees as the circuit is quite tight. Long story short: You have to fly very precisely - a) regarding the traffic pattern (noise prevention) and b) regarding your altitude to keep the separation and avoid any collision. You can find the VAC here: www.birrfeld.ch/pilotenbriefing/. I hope that answers your question. In case of any other questions - feel free to reach out!
@@stayaviation thx a lot! Very detailed... been there just once during ppl but was very quiet at the time so was unsure of how to separation orbit....I would do it outside....

Well summarized - sounds like you gained some experience in LSZF!

Thank you! Yes, LSZF is my home base :)
Hi, how do u handle more people in circuit?, where do u do orbits for separation if needed?
