It is evident that I'm not so much of an avid poster here on APF, however I do sign in on a regular bases and read all the fascinating posts you guys make.
I'm still working on my PPL, presently doing my cross country solo flying. Today, well yesterday rather, I flew, (well attempted to fly) to a little airport called Mount Airy/Surry County Airport. On my way everything was perfect.. VOR's where precisely centered and where intercepting perfectly at my designating checkpoints. I was following my check points and coming up on them perfectly, everything was great.. However the last 10 minutes is where everything seemed to go wrong.. I all of a sudden found my self over the town and couldn't navigate my self to the airport. I just didn't know where I went wrong. I kept my heading and everything. You name it I did it! My flight plan was correct I'm sure of this because I've went there before with my flight instructor and we used then same plan. I just couldn't find the damn place. Nothing I did seemed to work. I'm a bit shaken up about this and disappointed. Seeing as how I can't sleep, another evident factor.
Why couldn't I find that darn place
Well I know that based on the info it would be impossible for anybody to tell me why I couldn't find the airport. However, I guess I'm just wanting some where to vent my frustration.
Thanks for reading,
