Completed my first cross-country solo, Midland, TX (MAF) to Carlsbad (CNM) and back! Was really easy, especially since I flew the same route with my instructor a month or so ago. Starting to feel like an actual pilot, rather than some joker in the left seat.

Yeah, mostly out of MAF, although we have another plane at Midland Airpark (MDD) that I've flown a couple times. I like flying in and out of class C for training because it forces you to talk to ATC more, and I'm still new enough that busy uncontrolled airports make me nervous.

Also don't worry too much about messing up, I transposed frequency/transponder numbers last night and they'll just repeat themselves so you can repeat it back correctly.

Can anyone recommend a handheld scanner? I'd like to listen to local air traffic now and again.

SeaborneClink posted:I'm not sure whether to be surprised or relieved that SWA gets their own airport socked away in the SE corner so they may continue driving off runways and taxiways without loving all the rest of the less irresponsible airlines. It's like having a kids table for holiday family gatherings so they stop bothering all the grownups. SWA already flies out of Love Field, which is to the east a bit.

Looked it up because I was curious, I soloed at about 14 hours. Just in the pattern at a towered airport, but still. I'm hoping to finish prepping for my checkride by the end of this month, any tips? I'm studying the oral exam standards book, which a lot easier now that school's out.
