Swiss airfields series 1 - Sion - Gruyere - Lausanne in a DA40 TDI

This is the first of a multi-airfield series. It contains a take-off from Sion (LSGS), a take-off from Gruyere (LSGT), and two landings in Lausanne (LSGL), all in a DA40 TDI.

Sion is in the Rhone Valley, it’s a bit narrow, but very easy. Taking-off from Gruyere is a bit touchy, as it is a grass runway of less than 800 meters, with quite high obstructions. Observe the acceleration while flying in ground effect.

Lausanne’s runway 18 is not so exactly easy as well, because of the power lines on short final, and the downslope, but it is concrete… nevertheless go-arounds are quite frequent.
