Starting the 2025 flying season! #Teuge to De Kooy, #IFR

A great flight from Teuge (EHTE) to De Kooy (EHKD) to usher in the 2025 flying season with Carsten, who flies for a living. A good flying friend and a knowledgeable pilot. We took the C172 for this flight, as I needed a three landings to remain current, we joined the circuit for two additional landings. The approach into De Kooy is pretty spectacular, with Texel, the North Sea, Wadden Sea and the peninsula of Noord-Holland all in one view. The route as filed: EHTE N0110VFR DOTIX/N0112F050 IFR ASNOM PEROR EHKD Intro and recap 0:00 Departure and IFR pick-up 0:20 Cruise 3:50 Descent, approach and landing 6:15 I rent the PH-VTB, a well kept C172 G1000 as a member of Vliegclub Teuge (https://www.motorvliegclubteuge.nl/) and I enjoy flying a mix of VFR and IFR flights to a variety of destinations within an hour or three flying from my homebase Teuge in The Netherlands (EHTE). You can also check out my blog (http://marksppl.blogspot.nl Dutch but Google can help you with that...). I have a nightflight and a flight from Cologne in the works, and hopefully some more nice flights in the future. For filming I use GoPro 4's (1080, 60 fps wide lens setting), a DJI Spark drone and an iPhone 12. I edit with Adobe Premiere Pro and use epidemicsound.com for the music. On a legal note: this video was edited for time and has no purpose other then to entertain.
