Key Takeaways:

A friend of mine is a helicopter instructor in Arizona, and a student of his is approaching the cross-country flight portion of flight training. My instructor friend received this text from his student a few days ago:

Hey, you’ve got me down for a cross-country to TBD. Where is it? I can’t find it anywhere!
