Filing Flight Plan
Hi guys,
As a new private pilot (passed my checkride a month ago), I've been enjoying flying to visit friends and family in the north east (Saratoga Springs, NY 3 weeks ago, and KEEN last weekend). Tomorrow morning I'm planning on going to KBVY from KHFD, and was thinking of doing the Boston Tour on the way back.
I've got the Boston helicopter chart downloaded (will get or print a hard copy), and was told to radio Boston (124.4), and expect at or below 1500'.
Can anyone share their experiences, and what I should prep for? I'm comfortable with Class C&D, but haven't flown through Boston's B. WX looks clear, but a bit gusty tomorrow. This doesn't seem like something beyond my (new) abilities, which is why I'm considering it.
Any words to the wise? Thanks!
Andris
