My First Flight

Hi, IFC. I’m quite new to the community, and I’ve been working on landing, which I have been having a lot of trouble with. Today, I attempted to fly from LPLA-LPPD, a short 20 minute hop using a A320. The first time, I carfully planned out a flight path that would make a big loop around LPLD, and then land on Runway 30- this takes about 23 minutes. I made a mistake with my speed, and it resulted in me stalling on final approach and crashing. On my second try, I decided to come and land on Runway 13, so basically, I took off, made a little turn to the right, and flew at a crusing of 4,000ft ASL (I know, I know, very low.) (this flight was 18 minutes), and then landed at Runway 12. And guess what!? I made it! Well… let’s just say I didn’t crash- Unfortantly, It did not count as a landing because one wheel was on the runway, and one was not… Anyway, even though it wasn’t perfect, I still had a lot of fun, and I’m really proud!

Thanks to @AviatorRyan for doing some training with me!
