Final Approach
Well ok not much of one, only about 58nmi.... which just happens to be the distance from the airport my instructor lives by and my home airport, imagine that!
Nobody got hurt, the airplane is undamaged, didn't get lost, and didn't bust any regs so I'm calling it a success.
Granted it was kinda hard to screw up navigation with a garmin 430, a VOR to home in on, an iphone loaded with foreflight, and a familiar road to follow but still I'm damned happy about this. I have now done all the things I need to do to travel in my own airplane from point to point without help. Now I just have to get better at them and be ready for less perfect days and less familiar territory.
