My instructor and I spent nearly four hours going covering weather and VFR cross-country planning. Much of it was review. I did all the planning for my VFR cross country flight that will be taking place tomorrow. We will be flying from Montgomery (KMYF) to San Luis Obispo (KSBP.) I have not done a VFR flight plan in over 2 years, so this was excellent review. When I got back to the apartment I refined the initial flight plan through AOPA's online Flight Planner, a great tool offered to AOPA members. The flight planner works with your DUATS account as well as giving you weather breifings, and the choice to file your flight plan via the website. The overview of my cross country can be found here: Flight Track Overview. I am excited to actually fly the airplane to a destination tomorrow instead of practicing manuevers. We will also be flying back to Montgomery tomorrow night so I can log VFR Night Cross-Country time towards my commercial rating. One other thing, we will be flying a VFR corridor directly over LAX at 6,500. I am excited for that!
