I am a new private pilot, and I am planning to try a first flight to a new area that is busier then I've tried before. The flight will be on a clear, calm day. I will take off from KRHV and land at KSQL. My planned route will be KRHV > TEBIJ > OSI > KSQL
My communications plan will be to request a West departure from KRHV with a class C transition. Just after wheels up, I will request frequency change and contact SJC who should be expecting me. I'll expect SJC to clear me directly over the airport and at 2500+ to clear NUQ class D. I will fly straight toward OSI.
Once clear of Charlie, I will get ATIS from SQL and then contact SQL tower. I believe 30 is usually active, and I would expect to get a straight in or left base landing clearance. If runway 12, I would expect a left downwind entry.
How does my plan sound? Any input or suggestions I should consider?
