Memorable! January 26 2023 After carefully doing solo cross country , Praise be to Allah” !
Your first solo cross country is supposed to prove that you have the capability to do all of the things necessary to get in an airplane at one airport, depart, fly to another airport, and return safely. All alone.
That achievement includes all of the things inherent in managing the aircraft, communications, navigation, etc..
A cross-country solo flight must consist of: Flight of 50 nautical miles total point to point distance from the departure airport to another airport. There is also a long cross country required that must be: flight of 150 nautical miles total distance. full-stop landings at three points.
Today I accompanied my solo cross country as pilot in command, who makes sure that our Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are up to par, and we go through a few discussion items. This check, plus the flight manual book keep us pilots in the books and up-to-date with our systems knowledge and procedural changes. Yes, it’s always a bit of a relief when you pass 😉 Thanks to Allah subaxna watacalaa.
Wishing you all the best!
