Dominique Gisin: Ihr zweites Leben in der Luft

In this episode, I had the pleasure of accompanying Dominique Gisin at Kägiswil Airfield – Olympic champion, pilot, and, on this particular Saturday, air traffic controller. Instead of a traditional podcast, this episode was more of a short, straightforward report from the realities of everyday life at the airfield: bustling activity, frequent interruptions, radio communications, briefings, conversations with pilots – and right in the middle of it all, Dominique Gisin. We talk about her journey into aviation, her training, her time flying the Pilatus PC-12 with Fly7, and airfields that have left a lasting impression – from Kägiswil to Courchevel. Electric flight is also a major topic, as Dominique has been passionately involved in this future-oriented field of aviation for years. Of course, we also discuss women in aviation, role models, and why visibility is so important in the industry. We talk about women in aviation, role models, and why visibility is so crucial in aviation. A straightforward episode somewhere between a podcast and an airfield report – live from Kägiswil, with plenty of activity in the background and featuring Dominique Gisin, whom you'll recognize not only from skiing but also as a pilot. Enjoy flying along and experiencing the action at Kägiswil Airfield. 00:00 – Preparation at the airfield 03:28 – The first pilots arrive 06:20 – The path to the cockpit 10:51 – Advanced flight training 15:55 – PC-12 Operations at Fly7 22:50 – Daily life at the Kägiswil airfield 27:00 – Courchevel Altiport 30:50 – Electric aviation and the future 41:55 – Women in aviation 48:06 – Events & Fly-Ins 49:38 – Kägiswil Airfield 🔗 Follow Dominique Gisin Website – https://www.dominiquegisin.ch Instagram –   / dominiquegisin   ✈️ More from SupAir ON AIR YouTube –    / @supair-media   Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/1gnunTU...
