First Flight-Hilton Head


My next flight took me down the Carolina coast. The takeoff proved to be the most eventful portion of the flight. As I rotated from First Flight (FFA/KFFA), the plane rolled to the right (under calm conditions). Why this happened I do not know (most likely my joystick, which has proven to be problematic in the past). I rolled back, and continued my climb a good 30 degrees from runway heading. I then headed south a long the Atlantic Coast. The flight was pretty long (over three hours), but the spectacular coastal views provided for an enjoyale flight. The flight proved uneventful. My approach into Hilton Head(HXD/KHXD) was the best so far (a little bit low, but that's OK). My flying skills are improving.
