after my skill test I went up again with an instructor to iron a few bits and pieces and after that I also did some solo circuits for about an hour. Then I got my girlfriend in the plane and we went for quite a long cross country flight pretty much following parts of my QXC route and in addition we also had to fly over our house
the lenght of the flight didnt really matter and she enjoyed it. Therefore we carried on for the full route. Otherwise we would have cut it short. I didn fancy going to something totally unfamilar straight away as for the first time I had a real passanger and thus also an additional taks: watch out for your passangers and ask them frequently. Once their face is green..it is mostly too late
From now on we always plan to flight together other than when I fly with someone else. I also gave my GF some responsibility of keeping the map and working the GPS and also looking out for other aircraft.
