First IFR flight of Pancake Airlines without instructor. VFR departure from Lelystad and VFR arrival on Osnabruck-Atterheide (EDWO) with good conditions for such a training flight and a high enough freezing level.

As Eelco says: IFR flying should be predictable and dull. Everything went smooth indeed with a lot of tailwind on our route to Germany. The sights between and on top of the clouds were not dull at all.

Atterheide is a nice and quiet field, very close to the west side of Osnabruck and has a 800m asphalt runway (east-west).
