PPL training - Navigation 1
I was expecting December to be too dark to be able to do much flying with the very limited opening hours we have. Yesterday we managed to do two lessons in the two hours we had available, and today we managed to do two more! The first lesson of the day was Navigation 1, a trip to ENBR, Bergen International Airport, Flesland.

The next three lessons on the plan required a trip to Sola, so we had to leave Karmøy at sunrise due to the very limited opening hours. The plan was to do preparations for the solo check on the way down.
