Long Solo XC

surreal1221 · September 30th, 2006, 19:36

It's a drop in the bucket at least.

Flight was from FDW to FLO (Class D) then to MAO and back to FDW. Total flight was 2.5hrs. Was pretty boring honestly. It's odd being alone, talking to yourself, and just taking in the sights.

Nevertheless, it's done, and time to figure out a way to burn the last hour or so of my solo cross country requirements.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Oh yeah. . hours: 20 hours flat at the end of the flight today, w/ a total of 75 landings so far.

Eek. . . with this being for my PPL it was the 150nm one. I'll go nuts doing the CPL XC work. lol

The long XC's can be pretty boring. On the ones I have done where I have had some free time, I started playing the game of which field would I land in if I had an engine failure. For my long comm. x-c, I flew from 9K4-MEM-JEF-9K4 and that was a long day!!! I logged 6.0 on that flight only to turn around and fly a 2.5 hr. night cross country to Independence, KS the next night. Now that is a boring one with hardly any lighted towns to even look at.
