Flying

Flying has always been one of your dreams?
You want to see your region/home from the sky?
Are you looking for a birthday present?
Here is what you need... Come on board of a private plane for a unique experience to a destination of your choice.

The Pilot

Steve
Private pilot who earned his license through the Swiss Aeronautical Instructions sponsored by the governement to select future military pilots (IAP/FVS, today Sphere).

First flight at 17!

Licence on single engine piston in 2003 at the age of 20

Since then, he shares his passion with passengers that want to hire him for a private flight!

The Plane

DA20-C1 Eclipse

You will come on board of one of the most fun two-seat general aviation light aircraft around: the DA20-C1 Eclipse from Diamond Aviation. This plane is mounted with Garmin 500 and the newest generation of glasscockpit.

"Imagine taking your favorite sports car and adding wings. That's the feeling you get when you strap into the DA20 and take to the skies. Sporty, sleek and exciting - yet surprisingly affordable, the DA20 offers outstanding performance and impressive economy." from www.diamondaircraft.com

Even the United States Air Force is currently operating this aircraft for some of the training program of its pilots.

Departure Airport

Birrfeld (LSZF)

I am using the airport of Birrfeld as basis for the flights. The airport is nicely located just off the highway, approx. 30min drive from Zurich (direction Basel). On your GPS/Google Maps, just input: Flugplatz Birrfeld (next to the town of Lupfig),
