Hi to all, would have conducted a flight tomorrow from southern Germany to a VFR airport in northern Germany in a citation as PIC. Despite the news that large parts of the airspace should be opened tomorrow, I decided to cancel the trip considering that even if the flight went smooth, it couldn't be 100% excluded at this stage that some damage to the engines might occur, which could possibly not be detected until the next maintenance is done and of course, being aware that flying VFR below FL100 across Germany in a jet is not very sensible (particularly now that Lufthansa and Air Berlin aircraft have joined SEPs and gliders
). I would be interested to hear if any bizjet operators have dared/will dare going out there anyway flying VFR?? I assume, of course, that the majority stays on the ground for the same reasons (until flying IFR is permitted again). P.S: PAX will still get there but with a MEP aircraft.
