Lots of stuff mixed into my lesson today. Gps turned "off", sectional handed to me shortly after takeoff. Short xc to the nearest grass strip which was perpendicular to our flight path so I was pretty much on top of it before seeing it. What an experience as far as the actual landings and takeoffs. Steep approach with full flaps which were necessary to clear a road. Very hard and bumpy strip. Takeoffs were totally different from simulated soft field! Hard to tell when I was actually airborne vs just a big bounce. Really fun and challenging day. Can't wait to do it again.
