Student Pilot - Long Cross-Country Flight - John Wayne to Santa Barbara

To view a PDF of my "no wind" navigation log for this leg, click on this link: http://www.teamandras.com/temp/Naviga... By the way, I was subsequently told that the "cruise altitude" for the flight plan should have been 6500, rather than 3000. For a VFR flight, I was told, use your highest cruising altitude, not your initial cruising altitude. The higher altitude allows them to more accurately estimate your glide distance if you went missing. September 27, 2013 -- John Wayne Airport (KSNA) to Santa Barbara Airport (KSBA), California, in an Evektor SportStar . This was leg 1 of my "long" student pilot solo cross-country flight. My planned flight included the following three roundtrip legs: 1. John Wayne (KSNA) to Santa Barbara (KSBA) -- 110 NM 2. Santa Barbara (KSBA) to Camarillo (KCMA) -- 40 NM 3. Camarillo (KCMA) to John Wayne (KSNA) -- 70 NM As a student pilot, FAR 61.109(5)(ii) requires you to log 5 hours of solo cross-country time including a "long" flight that includes: * at least 150 nautical miles total distance * landings at three different airports ("full-stop landings at three points"); and * at least one segment to an airport that has a "straight-distance" of more than 50 NM. The flight was beautiful in that the last 20-30 minutes were along the Santa Barbara coastline, with the Pacific Ocean to the left and the mountains to the right. It was a little smoggy at the start of the flight, but otherwise a clear California day. I planned to try the GPS on this flight as I had little experience with it up to this point. I painstakingly entered my flight path into the Garmin, only to have it stop working early in the flight. It did work during legs 2 and 3 (and was comforting to have), but it was a good lesson in not relying on it. The flight was a lot more relaxing than it might seem due to the editing. In real time, there was a lot of dead time to just look around and soak it all in. I cut out most of the talking to myself (haha), but left some of my verbal 'thinking" so you can see how I occupied some of that time. I saw an E-2 Hawkeye on the way ("Ghost 21"). It was called out by approach, but I didn't know what it was until I did the editing. Darn. Had I known, I would have focused on it a little more. My landing was pretty crappy owing to the light crosswind and my student skill, but all worked out well. This was a few months ago. I finished my training and am now a private pilot. I didn't think I'd ever get back to this, but finally found some time to do the editing. ***** Thanks to mobygratis.com for granting me a license to use Moby's song "Victoria Lucas."
