Ben Longden Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just back from my solo navex.... Shepparton, to Deniliquin, Yarrawonga and back to Shepp. 2.1 hours and now all I have to do is my check ride with Matt tomorrow!! :big_grin: Bloody beautiful weather, and no potholes in the sky at all. The trip from Yarrawonga was a cinch... at altitude I could see Shepp, 40 Nm away!! So you could say it really was a VFR flight.... it was nice to see my navigation had got the math right, and I was steering the correct track... The learning dosent stop there, Unca CASA sent me my student licence... and now its onwards to master the Cessna! Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Longden Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 And the even better news is that after an hour and a half in the sky with CFI Matt, he has signed off my cross country! Mind you, I need to still attend Remedial Crosswind Landings Class 101..... Oh well, the wind was 180 at 15, and Matt made me land on runway 23 at Mangalore... That and the super wide tarmac made for interesting times.. ;) Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pelorus32 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Ben, my very hearty congratulations. I've watched how long and hard you've worked for this. Now the thing to do is to go and have some fun - use your XC and Passenger endorsements. Very best wishes, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
