Good job! Resist the urge to use both hands on the yoke. You can fly enroute (all phases if you trim well) with your thumb and index finger on the yoke. Helps you to not over control.
If you fold the sectional in a rectangle with your true course center alone the longer part, you can then put it on your knee destination up. Now everything out the right side of the airplane (read from ground up to map) should be right of the line, left side left. If you have a wind correction heading fine, but without significant crosswind put the first checkpoint between your legs. Use rudder only to keep the target, the checkpoint, between your legs (hands are now free.) Now notice any drift away from the true course as you see it on the ground. If the wind correction angle is more than ten degrees, set that heading and use rudder yaw only ( hands are now free) to direct your butt to the first checkpoint. Either way, notice that rudder is a finer wing leveller than aileron with it's adverse yaw problems. Notice how the true course line on the map cuts across N-S section lines and across E-W section lines. Keep that angle regardless of how wind changes. You will find that keeping the wing level by nailing the target with rudder yaw also gets ahead of gust disruption as well. This is because you are moving your feet to stay ahead of the airplane. Wind 310 at 9 gusting to 14. So you have the nose left of the target a bit. If you crab until you need to align on runway 35, keep driving your butt to target (centerline) with rudder only. Nice job with the crab. Good job with the landing. Listen to the old crop duster and use your feet only to nail the centerline and the wing and gusts will be already taken care of. Stay off that steering wheel because it, not the gusts, is causing the wing wagging. Good job all around. You have a good instructor.
My first cross country landing looked exactly like that. Then the others kept getting better and better as you develop your own way of doing it and implementing the instructor teachings. Good job buddy! I'm almost 40 and I'm chasing my dream to become a pilot so keep it up!
Nice job man. I got my PPL in 2019 just for fun since I live at the end of a small airports runway. the solo XC was the best.. when you really feel like a pilot that can go adventure places. I have about 120hrs now and sometimes I have to remind my self to ENJOY the flight and look around and relax a bit.. but at the same time.. monitor all the gauges LOL.
Nice job brother. I also train in a Warrior and next week I'm supposed to be getting a pre-solo review. Your video is good motivation. Keep the vids coming!
Awesome stuff! I just earned my Private last spring. I fly out of Lansing and flew to KPTK for my required XC night flight. Your airport can be insanely busy!

Beautiful flight, reminded me of my solo days. Keep up the good work!

This is so awesome to see you flying planes! Congrats Kyle!!!!🎉
I loved flying the PA-28. It was my first low wing aircraft. Great job!
Nice job brother. I also train in a Warrior and next week I'm supposed to be getting a pre-solo review. Your video is good motivation. Keep the vids coming!
great video and love your thought process! we can do anything we want with our lives we choose how to live them so chase your dreams!
Memorable Experience.
Happy Landings!
Congrats on the solo XC! That was my absolute favorite part of flight training!

Nice work man!!
Old school? Love it ❤
The day I see an ipad with you, would be the day when Aviation would die.
A lot of people are taught to use a iPad. Most people just don’t want to go the old school route.
Super cool to see! Congrats
Good job
A little late but congratulations! Are you using any custom lenses with your camera or is it stock?
@@AeroAdventuresYT the camera is all stock besides a media mod case that allows me to plug a mic into it for the audio. And thank you!!
don't forget wind correction when you land bro! but regardless congratulations!
Not a fan of straight in landings, especially as a student. To be fair, i didnt depart the area properly on my 1st solo XC. Happy Flying!
Nice video, good job… subbed 🤙
Nice video bro, what camera do you use?
Thank you!
GoPro Hero 12,
4k 30fps settings.
@@Liveyourlifez Thanks bud
