Title:
Destination Bahamas
Topic:
Destination Bahamas
Speaker(s):
CFI Thomas Daniel
Brief Description:
A cross-country flight is defined as a flight including a point of landing of more than 50 nautical miles from the point of departure. But does a flight like that really cross the country? A lot can happen when you pick a destination 3,000 miles away and set out in an airplane. Weather changes, system quirks and failures, international borders, and many other things. In a word: Adventure!
Join SCFC in welcoming CFI Thomas Daniel to share the story of his 6,000 nm round-trip cross-country flight from San Carlos to Miami, Florida and the Bahamas. The adventure spanned 3 weeks and 40 hours of flight time. We’ll hear about his planning, and what happened on the trip that wasn’t planned for, including an in-flight emergency. If you are considering taking a long flight across the US, you won’t want to miss out on this presentation.
