Gone flyin'.
Off to the island, to the beach! To sip a non-alcoholic afterwork beverage.

Another rather spontaneous after-work flight
Rating-relevant time: block 8:21, PIC 5:26. Crawling back to normal after an unusual long winter break. 💪
Due to decreasing visibility I only made it to the coast and Wangerooge. Since Spiekeroog was barely visible, I turned around. Spiraling upwards I could peek above the clouds at 5000 ft.

Ad hoc evening flight. Another 57 min for the book -- and some boost in morale! 🙂

New features added to the Abelbeck Aviation Checklist application:
+ pilot logbook: flight log, licences, ratings, documents
+ checklist event logging
+ geolocation logging, automatically triggered when entering the engine startup section, automatically suspended when completing the engine shutdown section
+ user-triggered flight recording with automatic logbook entry generation based on the checklist event log
Next on: visualisation of recorded flights, most likely based on MapLibre GL JS.
Just one traffic circuit, due to parts of it getting cloudy. 🙄
Thought cloud base was 1400 ft, but it dropped to 700 ft of a sudden.
No sense risking the aircraft.
Success! I converted the checklist timekeeping (block off, block on, departure, arrival) from minutes after midnight to minutes since the Epoch.
It was one AM, I should've called it a night.
But VLC was still playing some Ärzte songs, and I remembered this one lyrics hardcopy somewhere in the bookshelf...
In the end, I played my old six-string till two.
Ok, now better off to sleep!
Osterausflug zum Deutschen Panzermuseum. 👍
Das letzte Mal war ich 2010 mit Rolf Hilmes (RIP!) dort.
@DasPanzermuseum@mastodon.world : anscheinend war der Osterhase da und hat was beim Leo-Schnittmodell hinterlassen.
Fascinating, my 14yo ebook reader is still functioning perfectly! Even after years of hibernation among paper books. 🙂

Bonus: Canon EOS 7D snapshot of the eastward stratus cloud cover.
Abelbeck Aviation Checklist got another feature: it now supports multiple synchronised sessions.
Based on server-sent events, changes in one session are committed to all other sessions of a user. In the future I can do the checklists on my smartphone fixed to my thigh, while the tablet nearby shows my flight planning. And both reflect the current state.
Now I can again tend to the flight recorder part of my app.

Abelbeck Aviation Checklist: migrated the Auth module from dict+JSON to an SQLite database.
The Auth module offers user management, access control and session management. Password hashes are derived with scrypt. Non-GET requests are secured with anti-CSRF tokens (header/cookie transfer). Plus it offers a sync mechanism via server-sent event connections.
