Episode 244 Show Notes
Topic of the show: A student pilot sounds confused and disoriented on a cross country flight so we discuss ways an instructor and student can better prepare for flights to unfamiliar places. Cross country flights are one of the most important steps to becoming a safe pilot and should serve as confidence builders for the aspiring pilot. We also discuss some user tips on advising ATC of VFR altitude changes, flight following, and more awesome aviation questions.
