First solo cross-country flight

Today was the time to fly my first solo cross-country flight. This flight is actually in the PPL part of the flight syllabus but was one of the two flights we couldn't manage to fly last year due to bad weather.

The Charlie Victor Yankee. This one has larger fuel tanks than the other eight in the fleet, so it has quite a good endurance and range when flying solo.

The route was from Malmi to Hyvinkää and from there to Lahti-Vesivehmaa and back, so the flight was actually the same "Hyvinkää-Lahti" cross-country flight I flew last year, except that this time there was no instructor on board. I did a low approach on each of the destination aerodromes.

VFR navigation. Roads are easy to follow :)

Overall the flight went well and I'm now qualified to fly cross-country to controlled aerodromes too and can start planning the second flight to Turku and Tampere airports, waiting for that!
