daffers 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 A new company has just started. I play career mode. The first thing to do was to sort out a base, i had good contacts in Drachten, the Netherlands and i could open a cheap base here. Selling the starting 172 was priority, bought a New c172s2 by Carenado. Starring my first flight now, pics and the rest will follow spon. Happy flying. Just found out my plane doesn't have an ap. Will be hard first flights. Link to post Share on other sites
daffers 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just started again with the Carenado Mooney as start plane, 198k to buy so i just made it moneywise (200k). In my first flight atm to the german island of Borkum. This plane has a good speed (180kn max cruise) and an ap so i prefer this one as start plane. On my way to a Visual approach low visibility and a short runway, clouds at 400ft. So i hope my landing will be ok. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Good luck - the Carenado 182RG II was my first plane - it holds a good amount and it was a great starter plane but you go into debt for some time before paying it off My plane now is in my sig Happy flying mate and earn lots - get them greasers!

daffers 0 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The first day of flying was a blast, had some cargo runs to the wadden islands of the Netherlands and Germany with some small airstrips. It was a hard day at the office since visibility was minimum in the Netherlands. The day ended scarier then i wanted to, without checking the flight briefing to much i was doing a night flight to Germany with some life poultry on board. As i came closer to the airport i just couldn't see it, it appeared to be a none lighted grass air strip, with one turnaround and helped by my gps and landing lights i was able to find the strip and land the airplane in one piece. Although i learned to always check the arrival airport for runway and lights. Going into day one i decided to paint my Mooney 20 in the Danser Air Transport colours, which didn't excist yet. Since i am and inexperienced aircraft painter i just painted the tail of my completely white mooney black and asked a car painter from the city of Drachten (homebase) to put my logo on the plane. The result is somewhat boring since i have no idea to make it really good my plane is at least recognicable for exposure purposes. After my first day at work i look back as a happy hauler, made some decent money and my plane seems to be doing well, first priority is to gain money and reputation, mine is only 42% yet. Here is a pic of my hq and mooney! gonna do some more flying and make more money, you can find my on the air hauler stats page and i will do regular updates, so you can check progress! Danser Air Transport. This repaint is simple since i never done it before, so don't judge me on this ! Link to post Share on other sites
