The first so-called Cross Country flight went to Texel airport (EHTX), the second one to Teuge (EHTE).
The 28th of April (yes, I know I'm a bit late writing about it), we flew to Texel for some touch-and-goes.

Cross Country
After some 5 "local" lessons (from and to the same airfield) since my official start per the first of Januari this year, I now finally have flown to another airfield too!

Stalls
Meanwhile, I'm also taking flying lessons, of course!
I may not write each and every time about my lessons, but they do continue. I have had my seventh lesson as I write this, which is also lesson number 7 in the syllabus, so I am progressing as planned. Lesson 7 is all about slow flight and stalls. Stalling is effectively flying so slowly, that the wings reach that critical point where they stop producing lift.
So, yes, you start to fall from the sky, and no, that's not scary :)
