Cross Country NAV 4
WOW!!! 21st October was my fist cross-country solo flight YRED-Kilcoy-YWND-Kumbia-YRED.
The route for NAV 4 was the same as my fist NAV flight but this time I flew it SOLO and anti-clockwise! To see the route to Wondai visit my 1st NAV Photo Gallery. One of the more interesting sights on my trip was flying over Somerset Dam. I remember water skiing at Somerset, particularly from Kirkleigh and I've included some photos showing the low water level!!! It was also interesting to fly over Tarong Power Station and I have included a photo of that as well. I've written my diary account so head to my PPL Lesson Diary and you can read about my first Solo NAV.
