| Many pilots learn to fly so that they may take cross-country trips to compelling destinations, whether a short hop away or across a whole state. New destinations challenge pilots to expand their skills and knowledge. For SCFC pilot, Nick Williams, the Coachella Valley is a great destination and offers a lot of adventure; whether it is landing at airfields below sea level, navigating around towering peaks, flying over vast deserts, or flying in unique airspace (TRSA anyone?).
As part of the regular Destination Seminar Series, San Carlos Flight Center invites Nick Williams, airplane owner and instrument rated commercial pilot, to discuss his experiences flying in the Coachella Valley. Nick will highlight the key learning moments from his hours of flying around Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, and other Southern California airports. He will also discuss the different routes to take from the Bay Area, along with other considerations such as airspace, airport operations, and activities to do in the area. If you ever considered venturing to Southern California, the Coachella Valley awaits you for a challenging but yet rewarding long cross-country from the Bay Area.
