A solo cross-country to Cottage Grove in N5174E! |
Following pre-flight and before-takeoff procedures, I departed Albany's Runway 34 and departed the pattern to the south. It was a fairly routine flight on my way down and back. I'm glad I picked up VFR Flight Following from Cascade Approach because I got quite a few traffic alerts from them around the Eugene-area, which was typical. I also utilized ADS-B through ForeFlight on my iPad as well, so this flight ended up being a perfect opportunity to practice my single-pilot resource management (SRM). I landed on Runway 15 in Cottage Grove, rolled out all the way to the end and exited before turning around and getting airborne off Runway 33.
From there, I made my way back up to Albany, keeping in radio contact with the Cascade Approach controller. I made an uneventful landing back on Runway 34 in Albany. After a quick taxi over to the fuel pumps, I topped off the fuel tanks, and then taxied the plane back to my uncle's hangar, where I put it away and called it a successful cross-country flight. The weather for flying this afternoon/evening was just perfect!
