For solo local flights, which I m just getting back to, I like to set off in different directions – for area familiarization. However, today I had my first pax (in the last 37 years) and had a 20 minute flight already planned. There is a major hydroelectric dam on a nearby river and, although over-flight at low altitudes is prohibited, a scenic flyby is interesting, and well outside the restricted area. We have hills, a river valley, some cute towns and the northern Chesapeake Bay for sightseeing. So first-timers will most likely get a similar tour (but on a day much less windy than today).
