Turns over Cadenazzo-Bellinzona

With HB-CDH, we departed for the first time from runway 01, heading North. We left Lugano tower control at November and followed the highway towards Ceneri. We crossed the pass, banked right and started with exercises for slow flying. This consisted of putting the nose up and re-trimming after decreasing rpm to 2200 (90mph), 2000 (80mph), 2000 (70 mph, flaps 1).




Next exercise consisted of training 90 degree turns. A rectangular area marked by 2 roads, the river and the railway tracks made up our training area. Right turns, left turns... We then flew back through the Ceneri at 3000ft and the at November started our decent to runway 19. A smooth landing :)
