Today was my first cross-country solo. I flew to Muscle Shoals (about 53 miles). The wind was stronger this time than when I flew with Aaron last time, so I needed a 10 degree wind correction in order to fly a direct course to Muscle Shoals.
I requested flight following from Huntsville International approach on the way there and the trip went smoothly. I landed on runway 36 at Muscle Shoals and while I was taxiing back a plane was coming in on the crossing runway. I waited for him to land and decided it would be a good opportunity to figure out how to use the GPS. I followed the GPS route back to Madison County Airport and requested flight following again. This time they informed me of two aircraft on my path. I saw each of them and made it back safely.
