Episode 40

SPC #40 – Long Solo Cross Country, Part II (The Two Hander) [Updated]

Look! Less than a week and another episode!  This is my return flight on my long solo cross country flight from Prescott (KPRC) to Chandler (KCHD) via Wickenburg (E25).  I transition a bit of the southern portion of the PHX Class B airspace as well.

This was a great flight.  I made a few mistakes that were good learning experiences, but most of all I was happy to be back in the cockpit alone to enjoy some real flying.  I got to fly in both busy airspace as well as pretty remote, uncrowded airspace.


For the first leg of this flight, see Episode #39 of the podcast.


Thanks for listening.  Don’t forget to let me know what you’re doing in aviation, what you’re learning, and of course give me feedback on the podcast.  You can send me email, use the contact link on the website (https://studentpilotcast.com/contact/), or find me on Twitter at @billwil.  Thanks for listening, everyone. I hope to hear from you, and I hope you’re enjoying the podcast.
