GPS is Awesome!
The other day I was learning about cross country flight navigation using sectional charts, and an E6-B flight computer which is like a slide rule…
Anyways, I got some software for my computer to edit and create GPX data (A standard for manipulating. I can create routes in GPX format and put them on my Garmin Nuvi 750 
The most awesome find was this site which allows you to download airports and navaids all OVER the place. Pretty sweet: http://www.navaid.com/GPX/
Soloing at KPSK
Well, I forgot to turn on my GPS until I got to New River Valley Airport (KPSK), but once we landed there I turned it on.
Once at KPSK, my instructor got out and let me do 3 take off and landings. Then I used some makeshift instrument goggles and on the way back to the Virginia Tech Airport (KBCB). Once back in Blacksburg, I did one more takeoff and landing and I got cleared to fly to KPSK by myself! If it’s a nice day, I just have to call up my instructor and he has to “OK” me going.
Today was a much better day then the last day of soloing. I felt a lot more comfortable up there.
Here is a map of what I did after landing at New River Valley Airport.
