Guatemala Skies

The Learn to Fly section now has a sample radio communication of a made-up flight from Guatemala to San Jose.

Playing with my new gadget. Video was taken from inside a Cessna 172 XP filming from short final to just after takeoff, touch and go in San Jose, Guatemala at the Pacific cost. This new video can be found in the Gallery.

A Monterrico landing video was added to the Gallery.

Also check out the MGGT wind trend page. It shows the past 48 hours of wind speed from La Aurora, Guatemala.

A timeline was added under Learn to Fly. Are you interested in learning to fly, you should have a look.

Have you noticed? An icon was added to the webpage that should be shown in your address bar. How do you like it?

A list of Radio Frequencies was added to the site and the Links page has had a face-lift.

The Garmin 795 has worked really nice so far. Garmin customer service has positively surprised me and I would definitely recommend the Garmin 795. Check out the 3D View below.

There are some more pictures from that trip in the Gallery.

A new video was added to the Gallery. Check out the flight from Guatemala City to Rio Dulce. The landing was captured from two angles and can be seen as split screen with both perspectives in parallel.

Finally after a month of  bad weather and ground time, back in the air. Check out the pictures in the Gallery.

The GPS page was renamed to Downloads. I am planning to have more than just GPS related downloads in that area.
I have also added a file in the DUP format for Dynon SkyView users. This file was created from a GPS XML file as specificed on the DynonDocs Wiki and then transformed with the tool from the same site. I wasn’t able to test it and would appreciate feedback from anyone who was able to use it.

The reduced visibility in the mornings complicates early-bird flying. Added the reduced visibility METAR to the Memorable Weather Events page.
For reference added also a compass rose for location of say clouds or thunderstorms in the perimeter of the station.
