Piper Meridian (4K), Spectacular Landing Tivat, Montenegro
Two hours since takeoff from Augsburg (EDMA) with two babies on board - eight minutes till touch down. Minutes ago we passed the famous Croatian city Dubrovnik at FL170. After crossing the Alps, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia at FL270 we are crossing the Montenegro border now at FL125. ATC adviced us to expect an instrument approach from the south for RWY 32 at Tivat Airport but Markus requested a visual approach for RWY 14. He immediatly received the clearance for this spectacular Straight-in Approach. About two minutes before touchdown we are crossing the Tivat marina. Straight ahead the white 107 meters superyacht "Luminosity", ownd by a Kuwaiti Billionaire Kutayba Alghanim, also interesting: the 106 meters three-masted sailing yacht "Black Pearl", she belonged to the late Russian oligarch Oleg Burlakov and currently is subject of an inheritance dispute. Bye the way: Unfortunately Montenegro (a NATO member) does NOT support sanctions against Russia after brutally invading Ukraine - this certainly will not accelerate Montenegro's attempt to join the EU ...

I am curious: of course the Meridian is way more practical for getting from A to B fast and more independent of weather etc., but: which plane is more *fun* to fly: the DA-62 or the Meridian?

I would say it depends how you define fun ;-) ... The Meridian requires more skills (precision, attention) - especially everything concerning the turbine - and "she" is less forgiving than the DA62. The Meridian provides some kind of an airliner feeling but I think the comparison isn't quite fair - it depends on your requirements. I do appreciate both planes very much ...

How did you like Tivat as a GA destination and maybe the beaches and whatever you might have enjoyed there? We are looking for new destinations for 2023 :)

Tivat was really nice! Flying and all the handling was great. We stayed at the "One&Only" Portonovi, a brandnew and really excellent Hotel with fantastic rooms and suits, several really superbe restaurants, private beach and so on. An extraordinary place to go. Portonovi is located 10 km south west of the airport on the other side of the Kotor Bay ... it takes 45 minutes to go there ... I deeply recommend this spot ... www.oneandonlyresorts.com/de/portonovi
Hi Wolfgang! I fly m600 and I am based in Wien currently. If you are interested I can ask the owners to lease m600 for 10-20 hours since I don't fly too much currently. Let me know if you might be interested in. Thanks.

Hi Jenya! Thank you for your kind offer. But I think there is no need for an additional M600 experience. Next option in the near future probably is a PC12 due to the more spacious cabin and a toilet option ;-)
