Here we provide you with details of the daily performance.
The details of the Daily planning is shown under events!
Elektra Trainer, the worlds best performing certified electric airplane is departing from EDSR (RADOLFZELL) to Mid Sweden and Norway and then back to EDSR (Radolfzell) in order to demonstrate its long range capabilities and its suitability to already existing airport charging infrastructure and logistical procedures within the Green Flyway Project .
With this Mid Nordic Tour planned from 09.09. through 24.09.2026 we also gather information of and check the local electric infrastructure and procedures at international and national airports as well as smaller airfields. The results will be published on this websites, too.
First Day 09.09. was modified due to Check of the charging-system and bad weather forecast for southern Germany. Take off therefore already on Sept. 08th to EDJA (Memmingen). In the hangar 40 the charging-tests went successfull.
After checking the chargers and recharging the batteries, the onward flight to EDMH (Gunzenhausen) took place. There I was warmly welcomed by flight instructor Rainer and other club members. The Elektra Trainer was allowed to stay in the hangar overnight and was charged there. A comfortable guest room was available to me in the clubhouse. Now it remained to be seen if and when the weather on 9/9 would permit the onward flight.
The pilotsroom was as comfortable as a 3star hotel room. The unexpected invoice came later per E-Mail 🙁
Weather was fine next morning after having seen some thunderstorms disappearing south of the field. Therefore earlier as planed the trip northbound could be continued.
Next stop as planned at EDBA, Arnstadt 09.09. ATA 11:14 Zulu (UTC)
The area was a little bit dangerous due to the many mushrooms. Amanita verna, you better don’t eat them.
A beautiful cat was kindly asking to come with me. Unfortunately I had to leave her back.
In the afternoon of 09.09.2026 I took off to Stendal, EDOV, arriving there short before sunset at 19:13 local time.
Stendal is a huge former military air field, being used by flight schools for training camps (primary and aerobatic) as well as by Idaflieg, the roof-organisation of academic flight groups, Germany, where I was belonging to 1976.
Fortunately I could get a room in the gliders home and having breakfast with some students and Olli their instructor. Next day, the 10th of Sept. I had the choice either to stay another day in Stendal or to stay overnight in the next stop at Barth (EDBH) or to be one day too early in Sweden.
After an early finish of recharging in Barth and harmonizing with Malmö Flygklubb, I decided to leave EDBH at 14:33 Zulu to Malmö (ESMS), filed the flight Plan and jumped over the Estsea.
Heavy Wind 290°/20kt slowed down the transfer, lasting 81 min to reach downwind 35 of ESMS, Malmö Sturup.
The local Flygklubb allowed me to stay in their hangar and in their clubrooms until the official welcome zeremony of Swedavia on 11. 09. 11:20 local.
Thenafter charging procedure and logistical processing ESMS as planned.
The firebregade got an introduction to Elektra Trainer and the specialities of handling electric drive systems.
On 12.09.2026 again flight to ESSF, Hulstfred like last time on the North circuit (04.07.)
Eva and Arne welcomed me with a lunch package and small presents of Hulstfred community.
Recharging until 16:00 local time, thenafter lift off to next stop.
Surprisingly the next target, airport ESSP (Norrköping), was closed today. We had to change the routing again. Since we have been in ESSU (Eskilstuna) already , we selected ESKN, Stockholm Skavsta as next target.
It was a bad selection:
No official welcome, no support from the airport; fortunately a room could be booked by ourselves in the airport-hotel; complicated access to the aircraft on next morning and an airport invoice arriving later by email, even if Swedavia grants „free of charge for full electric aircraft“ in its ACCS2026.
After having had rest in the airport hotel and getting access to the aircraft with the help of a mechanic take off was performed nearly as planned to next location ESOL, Storvik, as last time in Juli. Slight rain and very low clouds caused SVFR and circumnavigating multiple showers on the route. The wind direction changed from tail- to head-wind. As a result the reserve energy was shrinking to 25% until reaching Storvik (ESOL) at about 12:30 lmt.
No thunderstorms arround Storvik this time :-). Four hours later after participation in a birthdays ceremony of a flygklubb-member, I lifted off to next target: Sundsvall (ESNN). Arrival at Sundsvall at 16:56 UTC after a 122 min low-level flight against headwind with still 47 min reserve energy. Totally different from Skavsta the welcome here was well organized and friendly.
Resting and charging over night in a huge hangar with integrated rooms for dinner, Sauna, sleeping,..
Next target ESNZ, Are Östersund is located in the middle of Sweden between forests and lakes. A beautiful area:
On 14. 09. 2026 ATA 11:25 LMT arriving on time (5 min too early) in our target destination, the Green Flyway meeting at Öresund Airport, ESNZ.
From the nearby located air field Otand (ESNM) Stefan (with a Flight Design CTLS) and I flew in formation for video and fotoshooting into the mountains, northwest of ESNZ.
approaching the mountains
A hangar for D-MESO allone was perfect service at ESNZ for charging and protection against wind and rain.
On 16./17. nine Demoflights were performed and the climate conference visited:
18th of Sept.: Flight as planned on the „NATO-route“ to ENVA, Trondheim-Varna:
Trondheim GAT 18.09.2026 at noon time.
Bad weather-forecast for the evening and next day forced me to cancel my hotel-booking and immediately return to Sweden after recharging, one day earlier than planned.
ESNC, Hede Hedlanda is a nice small private airfield in the Snow-Tourist area:
It was raining and freezing outside, but the comfortable stay inside the flygklubbhouse allowed undisturbed resting. The early morning sun melted the ice on the Elektra Trainer.
Afterwards in the early morning of the 19th I performed a short Demo-Flight before the next rain arrived.
After another night in Hede the first flight leg on 20th of Sept. took me to Sveg, ESND, another regional airport in the Jamtsland region.
An empty airport, nobody there at arrival. Successfully a CEE32-plug was available and working. Even during the 3h-recharching nobody was visible and reachable by phone , therefore I left Sveg immediately to ESKD, Dala-Järna. Again a beautifull landscape with excellent thermal conditions made the ride a pleasant experience.
In Dala-Järna the local Flygklubb was very interested in seeing and flying the Elektra Trainer. Sofia organized a business meeting and enjoyed the demoflight.
The stay over night was like holidays in a small cottage.
After another early morning demoflight the next stop ESOK, Karlstad was approached.
At Karlstad nearly the whole board of the airport operator welcomed me and the Elektra Trainer. After recharging nearly each board-member took the opportunity to enjoy a demoflight.
The parking at night took place in the big Saab 340 hangar behind the charging position.
The stay at Karlstad was excellently organised. Intensive discussions how to improve regional air traffic by use of electric flight were accompanied by nice food.
The next day a double leg via ESGG, Göteborg Land Vetter to ESMS, Malmö (again) took place. Parking and charging in ESGG at the biggest stand they have available. Excellent individual support through OPS staff.
Recharging ended just in time to reach ESMS (Malmö) before dark. Ole from Sturup Flygklubb was already waiting for me to get a demoflight with the Elektra Trainer. But arrival was rather late:
So the demoflight was performed next morning (23. 09.) and after recharging and with absence of the announced additional interested pilots I decided to leave ESMS earlier (in the afternoon) to EDCA (Anklam) the Otto Lilienthal Airfield. After having passed the East See again (the fourth time) the Isle of Rügen came into view:
Anklam, has a lot of interesting history: Otto Lilienthal Museum, old Aircraft and modern ones.
Next day (24. 09.) according to new planning two legs (EDCA – EDBO and EDBO – EDQM) were foreseen. But a lot of rainshowers and very slow charging (6. 4 kW only) at EDBO, Oehna didn’t allow to reach EDQM before sunset.
An additional stay at Oehna was the result. Karl, the very friendly owner of Oehna provided hospitality and a nice chamber as well as hangar space; everything fine and relaxing. EDBO ist the ideal place for flight training camps VFR day and night.
On 25.09.2026 after breakfast the first of the final Mid-Nordic legs 21 to 23 was started. Again a sidewind-component of 5 kts slowed down the 198 km to Hof-Plauen, EDQM, which was reached at 11:26 LMT. There was no welcome committee on this occasion, recharging could be started immediately at the already known „E-Tankstelle EDQM“.
With the take off time 15:40 (LMT) to leg nr. 22 (EDMQ, Donauwörth) it was already clear, that the planned third leg of the day couldn’t be made before sunset: EET 01:38 plus 03:00 recharging did not allow an additional EET of 01:35 to EDSR. Another unplanned stay over night was mandatory. The seats of Elektra Trainer are comfortable and the structure warm from the charging.
Early on the 26.09. I succeeded to get the cables out of hangar 1 in EDMQ to depart to the final destination EDSR (Radolfzell), my home airfield at the west end of Lake Constanz, which I reached at 11:03 LMT. Tour is over!
Finally a total distance of more than the theoretical 4118 km was covered in 23 legs with about 34 hours flight time and about 550 kWh of energy. Additional 19 flights ( 6 hours) served for flight demonstrations in the different locations. The total trip lasted 18 days, 2 days more than planned, due to weather-problems in Germany.
The charging infrastructure of the visited airfields will be published in detail in the corresponding websites of electric-airport.eu.
