This weekend I completed another milestone in the flight training regimen: a cross country (50+ miles from the home airport) flight with only me at the controls of the aircraft. I chose an airport that I had visited previously, Modesto (KMOD), and it was a pretty uneventful flight. I didn’t get lost and I didn’t use the GPS (mostly) to find my way there. All in all it was very straightforward.
One down, two more and a bunch of little procedural stuff to go before that private ticket is mine.
