Join me on a flight with MTI<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
This is a video of a short flight from EDLD (Dinslaken Schwarze-Heide) to EDLN (M\u00f6nchengladbach) detailing the steps of each phase of flight. The bumpiness at the very end shows the impact of wake turbulence – a very large passenger aircraft was descending into D\u00fcsseldorf when […]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Flying MTI<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
