Building Time

One of my longer term goals is to get to 1500hrs and an ATP rating. To achieve that I'm trying to fly at least five hours per week. Tonight I went up and flew around the mountains.  Since I'm building time and not trying to go anywhere I can really pull the power back to save fuel. At 120kts I am burning just over 5gph, not too bad!  

Spruce Pine - Avery County

I flew up to Avery County, but the runway was closed for repaving. Can't wait to try the new smooth runway out when it opens!
