Practice holding heading and altitude exactly. See if you can go 10 minutes without deviating 5 degrees in heading or 50 feet in altitude. Practice rolling out of turns exactly on your target heading, and stopping climbs and descents exactly on your target altitude. Practice making turns at exactly standard rate. Good ideas but I think I might prefer to do this locally and not while on an XC. That's fine. Your safety pilot can play ATC and give you heading and altitude changes. [...] If you are not comfortable talking to ATC, get as much ATC exposure as you can. Plan all your trips to towered airports. Get flight following. Talk to FSS to get weather updates and give them pireps. Comfy with ATC and FSS. I fly out of a Class D near Boston - under part of the Boston Class B layer. That's good. I know people trained in a similar situation under the Newark class B that are not too comfortable with ATC. - Andrew |
