First trip a success !
I went from EGNE - Goodwood - Isle of Wight - EGNE on sunday ! Took 2:10 to get to Goodwood (slight tailwind) 80kt groundspeed. 0:20 to get to Isle of Wight 2:20 to get back to EGNE Perfect trip ! Le touquet on sunday if the weather clears and then the Scilly isles the week after depending on weather ! I took a pillow with me and sat on that the entire journey ! Not to bad on the old posterior even after a 2:20min leg. Lets see if i am singing a different tune after the Scilly trip !!!!! |
Longest trip
I've done Providence, RI (Atlantic coast) to San Diego, CA (Pacific coast) and back in a C150. Took me 75 flying hours -- obviously, a lot faster on the way back than the way out, given the prevailing westerlies.
I don't fly longer legs than three hours, because the fuel gauges are crap, and GPH varies with atmospheric conditions. Thinking of putting in an EI fuel monitor, which would tell me to a high degree of accuracy how much I've burned, and might make me more comfortable about extending that three-hour range a bit. |
