First Solo Cross Country Today!
Yesterday I had my solo cross country phase check. Its like a check to see if you know what you are doing enough so that you can fly to other airports alone. You have to go with a different instructor and I feel like it went pretty well. It takes about three hours, two hours of oral questions on the ground and then about an hour in the air. After the phase check my instructor text me last night and told me to create a flightplan for Redwood Falls. This means that today I should be flying there for my first solo. I've flown their once before with my instructor, but I don't think we landed. Im pretty excited and I think it will be alot of fun. The GPS makes it pretty easy to get there, but if that fails I can still get there with my compass, and sectional. The weather is sopposed to be good so it will be nice if it stays that way. The trip is about 52 mi. and should take me no longer than 35 min one way. I didn't get much sleep last night but hopefully that wont be a factor. I am really tired though and after I fly I have speech from 3-4:15. I will probably be passed out by five. Friday will be an easy day for me though, one class from 2-3 and I'm done. There is a test in that class tomorrow, but I should do alright.
