Default i think I flew into class c airspace accidentally without establishing communication

I appreciate your criticism and I do realize that I made a lot of
mistakes from the moment I took off. This experience made me more
aware of my responsibilities as a PIC, and I will be a lot more
prepared from now on when I fly.


Thanks for sucking it up and posting here so others can learn from it. I,
as a student CFI, learned something else to teach new pilots.

GPS is one of those things that seems almost to good to be true. It's also
not something that most PPLs seem to get a lot of training on, which,
hopefully, is changing right now.

I did the GPS for IFR and GPS for VFR online AOPA courses and learned a
bunch, but it never tells you not to rely solely on the instrument.

I doubt the FAA will give you much grief.
