“Exhausted but happy after my IFR long Xcountry flight to California coast.
Well, I planned not just required 250 nm and 3 approaches but a little more. My plan was to fly: Las Vegas (Nevada) – John Wayne airport (California) – Catalina Island – Oxfords (California) – Las Vegas.

Total 611 miles (1132 km), approaches at 4 airports, 8 hours flight time, 12 hours total travel time ✈️✈️✈️ Departed with my instructor at 6 am and returned at 6 pm.

So much information, so many interesting things happened! Radio calls, navigation, receiving amended clearances and changing routes on the go. Did some time of actual IMC!”

She continued:

“California did not disappoint 🙂 The forecast promised overcast cloud layer, and it was there!

An incredible workload came back squeezed like a lemon 🍋 barely gathered the last strength to drive from the airport to home. 🙂”

An incredible workload, came back squeezed like a lemon 🍋 barely gathered the last strength to drive from the airport to home 🙂 Невероятно уставшая, но счастливая после моих маршрутных полетов по приборам на побережье Калифорнии. Обязательное требование на пути к моему новому рейтингу ( допуск к полетам по приборам) – IFR полет с тремя разными заходами на посадку общей протяженностью не менее 250 миль. Ну я немного расширенно подошла к вопросу. Мой план состоял в полетах: Лас Вегас (Невада) – Джон Вэйн (аэропорт в Санта Ана, Калифорния) – остров Каталина – Охфорд ( Калифорния) – Лас Вегас. Общая протяженность 611 миль ( 1132 км), посадка в 4 аэропортах, 8 часов лётного времени, 12 часов общего времени в пути ✈️✈️✈️ Вылетели с инструктором в 6 утра, а вернулись в 6 вечера. Столько информации, столько всего интересного происходило! Радиосообщения, навигация, изменение маршрутов в пути, полет в облаках! Калифорния не подвела 🙂 Прогноз обещал облачность, и она там была! В общем невероятная нагрузка, вернулась выжатая как лимон 🍋 еле еле, собрала последние силы, чтобы уже доехать от аэропорта до дома 🙂
