Cross Country NAV 3
YRED-YBOK-YBMC-YRED

This was an important NAV because this is the one on which the instructor was going to guage my skills and decide whether I am ready for my first cross country Solo navigation. All went well and my first solo will come up soon!!! Nav 3 included a touch and go at at Oakey, a Military Controlled Air Base with a General Aviation section. From Oakey to a landing at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast and then back to Redcliffe. I've written up my diary account of my flight.

The maps can get a bit messy during a three hour flight.  I am working on finding the organisational system that works for me.  Looks like I have a little more work to do!! Read all about my cockpit organisational woes in my featured story about Map Origami
