PPL/IR Europe Annual Conference 2024′
Hamburg, Germany
I joined PPL/IR Europe in October 2022, which is open to any GA pilot interested in operating light aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) in Europe, making PPL/IR Europe the home of GA IFR pilots in Europe.
PPL/IR Europe was set up originally by a group of friends who had obtained their instrument qualifications and used them to travel around Europe.
In early 2024, the event PPL/IR Europe Annual Conference was advertised and scheduled to take place in June of that year, coincidentally in Hamburg.
Simple trip becomes complicated
Erlangen, Germany
For the last few years, I have visited the Erlangen Beer Festival, the first year with a stop in Prague then the previous year with a stop in Kosice before heading to Nuremberg.
The original plan, if the weather was mostly benign would be to fly via Cologne or Luxembourg and then onto Nuremberg. Unfortunately, both options that week became challenging and with weight and balance issues, I could not carry additional reserves that I felt comfortable with.
