Flight details:
Diamond DA40 Diamond Star / B10AN
Xiangtai Airlines / 广东翔泰通用航空
Zhuhai Lianzhou (ZGLZ) to Zhuhai Lianzhou (ZGLZ) 2021 August 24 (8 minutes flight time)
I booked a ten minute "flight experience" with Xiangtai Airlines' Diamond Star from the Lianzhou General Aviation Airport in Doumen District, Zhuhai, Guangdong. This consisted of one time around the traffic pattern. Before being able to depart on this short flight, we faced a ground delay of around twenty minutes due to an inbound training flight. This was a good time to chat with the flight instructor, who had completed part of his training in Canada. Sorry no inflight video, I was too busy flying the plane.
The airport is located in a rural area and the small terminal has some exhibits about Chinese aviation history and famous Chinese aviators, as well as an extensive model collection. There are at least two flight training companies operating from this airport, Xiangtai Airlines and Aviclub, with Diamond and Cirrus aircraft respectively.
