After a short briefing we decided to continue with the remaining 73% capacity<br />

over mountains to Roros ENRO. The distance is 81 km - and a takeoff<br />

from snow RWY. During the flight I reached max. altitude of the day -<br />

4.486 ft, with a headwind of 20 to 40 km/h. I crossed the border between<br />

Sweden and Norway at 10:57 UTC with an altitude of 3.629 ft and 40 km/h<br />

headwind.<br />

Before landing in Roros I did two low left circuits of RWY 31 for media, who<br />

was filming from a drone. I noticed gusty crosswind and turbulence on the<br />

final, but everything went fine. After landing I had still capacity of 30%. So<br />

I did one more presentation flight, a narrow circuit RWY 31 just before the<br />

snow shower arrived. I stopped flying with full stop landing and 22% reserve<br />

in batteries. 4<br />
