Getting Around

To break the monotony of intense training, today we decided to fly to several local airports around the Phoenix area. This was a good experience to fly into different airports but also to get to know the Class B airspace that blankets the Phoenix area.

Our trip today went from Falcon Field to Williams Gateway to Chandler to Deer Valley to Scottsdale and back to Falcon (KFFZ->KIWA->KCHD->KDVT->KSDL->KFFZ). Incidentally, this was the first time that I had a passenger other than my flight instructor. Due to the abundance of mountains and ground heating, it is a little bumpy. My passenger didn't do real well in the back seat.

Fortunately he was able to keep his lunch down...

Flight time: 1.7

Total time: 29.3
