Taking Off as a Student Landing as a Pilot! | Zero Time to Airline Episode 6

The first Cross Country Flight is an interesting one for a few reasons. Reason one this is the flight now that you will have to use a navigation plotter. Watch our navigational plotter video to learn how to use one. It is okay to be off be a few degrees, but the issue comes when the pilot is completely off the destination mark. Reason two is fuel consumption awareness. During a Cross Country Flight it is not like driving where if you need gas you can stop at a gas station. Think of it more-so as a road trip in the middle of nowhere. If you run out of gas midway you will be in some serious problems. Watch the full video to see how Robert and Jake navigate their way through their first Cross Country Flight!
