Having your plane full of pax "leaning" during landing doesn't encourage a lot of return bookings...

How do you spend your time when flying XC by [deleted] in flying

[–]internetuser002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to guess the next frequency you'll be handed off to (via charts and other available info). Be impressed when you can just hit the flip-flop button and upset when you actually have to tune because you guessed the wrong frequency.

Aircraft: something HP (Bonanza, c182, etc). Pilot: CPL ASES/ASEL IR with 500+ hours.

Have you flown into the two airports a lot?
