Bro do you even lift
FUN.
Other thoughts:
My intentions were to try not to use the GPS at all, but I ended up spot checking it regularly, at least on the first (longest) leg. I can't wait til I won't have to feel guilty for using a GPS.
Had a tough time picking out a few checkpoints, hence why I spent a decent amount of time Google earthing the trip. I found SIGNIFICANTLY better checkpoints that way, which weren't on the sectional, and were CLEARLY visible in flight. I can see doing the crosscheck on future flights.
Picked up flight following, CLT approach to Fayetteville app, no issues with radio calls at all.
All of my approaches were high, with the last one (with my CFI watching) being the worst.
2.2 on the Hobbs. Very nervous to start, calmed down on first contact with CLT approach, then just had a blast!!!
