SCFC member Didier Serra recently acquired a Cessna 172 G1000. Great news! Now what?
The plane, N268CS, needed to be flown back from Florida to San Carlos. Didier, who is a student pilot, enlisted his CFI, Graeson Gamoras, to help ferry his plane back from Florida. This was going to be an amazing experience that needed extensive planning to manage the logistics. On top of just details of cross-country planning there was an added element of validating that this plane was airworthy.
In this seminar, Graeson and Didier will talk about their experience of navigating through Florida weather and how they evaluated the routes to safely arrive at their first stop. What critical checks they completed and documentation that they validated to make sure the plane they were picking up was airworthy. How they spent the days leading up to picking up the plan preparing for the trip. Some of the amazing places they flew over and how they choose their stops.
Whether you are a new pilot interested in learning about the challenges of flying from Coast-to-Coast or a seasoned pilot interested in hearing about the adventures of another pilot, join us to hear for the tale of a 3-day Coast-to-Coast flight.
