Sunny weekend flight to the coast!

Thoughts: To change things up a bit, and because the weather was beautiful, my instructor and I headed out to Tillamook to add some cross-country time. To be logged as cross-country (XC), a flight must be to an airport at least 50 Nautical Miles away with a landing made there. When it comes to obtaining licenses, I will need 1500 total hours of flight time with at least 500 hours worth of XC time. When I’m in a plane as fast as the RG, it makes it simpler to fly out and back within the time block. This gives me some extra experience in the “en route” phase of flight and dealing with Air Traffic Control. My next flight is scheduled for Monday evening. More night flying in the RG. Really looking forward to it!
