It was time to leave Ventspils behind and continue the trip. The next destination should have been Nide Airport on the famous Curonian Spit, but unfortunately that tiny airport doesn’t exist in FlightGear.
Morning over Lithuania
Curonian Spit
I looked for a new destination and decided to head for an airport in southern Poland. Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport (EPLL) looked like a good candidate.

At this time landing succeeded better than in Estonia. I decreased throttle early enough, that made Cessna practically float to the runway, without bouncing back to the air after the first touch. Naturally I had lowered the flaps earlier.

Activating the map canvas for browser helped navigation a lot. Maybe it’s not the most realistic way of naviation, but considering my current navigation skills, there aren’t many choices.
On Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport
Łódź (Pronounced: Wootch) is Poland’s third biggest city, and the capital of the Łódzkie Voivodship. Unlike most other large Polish cities, which boast impressive long histories, Łódź was created almost from scratch during the 19th century textile industry boom to house textile mills, their owners and their workers, and rapidly grew to become an important industrial and commerce centre. In recent years, Łódź has been battling rising unemployment and youth migration resulting from the failing textile industry and is repositioning itself as a hub for design and creative industries.
