The flying club in my basement has the most badass C152 anywhere, courtesy of JPL. Took her from KPAE to KUIL again, this time via WATTR, The 515 CL NDB, 112.2 VOR at Tatoosh, and finally just GPS on the final leg.
Making flight plans is addictive, especially when there is IRL potential.
Passing over Sekiu, Otto was coaching me on the finer points of VFR navigation. He’s also an expert in IFR: Inflatable Flight Rules.
I had GPS in OBS mode on the top HSI, and NAV2 tuned in to 112.2. I was able to keep them aligned for quite some time, but they diverged once I approached the station. Also I veered a bit further west to get a better look at the beach.
Parked at Quillyalute after impressing Otto with an amazing perfect landing, and no ground loops today! Tried to apply my learnings at keeping controls aligned while taxiing. Quite a smart plane, loaded with gear and so pleasant to fly.
