Today, I was FINALLY able to do a flight to Boston!! I have been wanting to fly into Boston for the longest, and I was finally able to do so on today. I flew from Atlanta to Detroit, then from Detroit to Boston. Let me tell you, this has been the most challenging flying day that I’ve ever had. Upon arrival into Detroit, not only did we have 2SM of visibility, but we had a crosswind of 15kts with a 24kt gust. It was a very challenging approach but I got it done smoothly 😎👨🏾✈️ On the way out of Detroit, the winds were still at 15kts with a 24kt gust (I’m glad I did a crosswind takeoff practice before the flight 😂) The only thing I didn’t like about this takeoff was that I was a little off the centerline but that’s usual for a strong crosswind takeoff. Upon arrival into Boston, I had 2 or 3 statute miles of visibility and a slight crosswind. The landing was very smooth to my surprise (I had 40° of flaps) what stressed me out was the 0sm of visibility once I landed 🤦🏾♂️ Taxiing with no visibility is one the hardest, most stressful things ever. Especially when it’s an airport you’re not familiar with. Other than the visibility and winds, these were pretty good flights. I like a little bit of a challenge, but I don’t want one like this for a while 😂 Anyway, y’all have an amazing day and I’ll see you in the skies!!
