In this post I describe how I set up weather station, live camera feed and liveatc. A while back I moved from Ljubljana to a small town around 30 km East of Ljubljana.
This means that both of those two airports are now too far to regularly fly out of them. With no traffic, it would take around 1 hour to get to Ljubljana Airport and around 2 hours to get to Portoroz Airport.
Those two hours can easily turn into 3 hours during peak summer time when highway is full of holiday travelers done that once, have no plans to repeat it. Regular flying is very important to stay current and be a safe pilot so I needed to find a new airport which is closer by. Both of themare small, un-towered general aviation airports with a relatively short grass runway.
For some reason, I decided to visit Zagorje ob Savi Airport and club first. There I met a bunch of dedicated, friendly and welcoming people.
Both of the airports I used to fly from, were bigger towered international airports for Slovenian standard, but in global scheme of things, they are still really small and low traffic airports. In this post you can learn a little about our setup - notably our weather station, web camera feed and LiveATC audio feed. To be able to add some technological improvements to the airport, we first needed an internet connection.
