i am just back from a trip to Ukraine on a microlight. departure from italy, via switzerland to pick me up, then germany, czech, poland, ukraine, where we landed in Lviv and then in Aeroprakt club 50km west of Kiev
aircraft was a CTSW with T7 regs.
things have changed a lot in Ukraine, all flight controllers now speak good english, and VFR flight is possible, as well as landing in airstrips. we had some small bureaucratic problem, promptly solved by our local contacts. permissions are needed to enter ukraine, they must be obtained 2 or 3 days before the flight. no visa is required for EU citizens.
avgas or mogas are not available in airports, so trips must be carefully planned, fuelwise.
i also managed to meet Ikono, aka Igor, he is the tall guy in the pciture here, beside his wife. the guy in the front is the CTSW owner, and im the one with the dirty looking tshirt :-)
