First Long Cross-Country as a Pilot -- Any tips?
Alright, first long cross-country coming up for me as a pilot.
Traveling up to see family for Memorial Day weekend (and hoping the weather holds out on Friday). Of note, I did my training in a (slow) C152, but moved up to a fuel- injected C172 after getting my license. Any tips to ease the flight? Good tips for fuel consumption savings? Tips for taming my 2-year old for the flight? Thanks! JDK

Were you in an airplane? Cough medicines generally suppress respiration and mask the symptoms of hypoxia, as well as increasing susceptibility to hypoxia a great deal. Combine that with alcochol and the risks are even greater. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
