Getting closer to XC.

Today noon we had a flight. Had to wait a bit for the snow clouds to go away. They did not seem going anywhere but we decided to give it a try. It was cold. Headed to the training area. It is not easy to keep track of where I am on the map. When I was looking at the map on my knee I made a slight left turn. It is hard. Trying to learn landmarks around. I should have been hanging around more often to learn the area. Now have to learn from the sky :)

I had a bit problem during second landing. I still had much air speed and was late to hold the nose up.
And after touching the ground took off again. I will keep the nose up earlier and will let it sink slowly. Every landing is different..

Hoping to fly first cross-country on 20 February with my instructor. Have to study FAA test as well. Lots of things to do, have to plan time effectively.
