Lynden Pidling International-José Martí International


Next, I headed south. On takeoff from Pidling International (NAS/MYNN), I stalled the plane as I was enjoying the view. I qickly recovered and resumed my climb. I leveled out at around 2000 feet and managed to trim the plane to a perfect 0 ft/min vertical speed, which is not easy in a C172. That was quickly eradicated as I encounted a large pocket of turbulence near the coast of Andros Island. Forunately the balance of the more than three hour flight was uneventful. I entered Cuban Airspace, and after navigating some restricted and dangerous airspace, I entered the down wind leg for runway 4. The pattern went well, albeit a bit low, and the I landed decently. The sunset made it a landing to remember.
