Well today i was planing on getting some videos of me doing some solo landings,
the plan was to fly south sols into the practice area and work on slow flight, ground refrence and steep turns. then come back and do a
few touch and goes, i needed to log 0.3 solo to bring me up to the regs for the PPL.
i took off from RW14 at CRG, and got over deep forest when i noticed the M bus was showing a -1.5 discharge, and a caution light.
beeing a student pilot, i decided to turn back to CRG, below is a Exbert from the jacksonville sectional. so yall can see just how far out i
got.
the practice area is the airspace between Craig and St Augistine. and from the ST Johns river to the ocean.
however i am working on a vew FS video, i hope to have up soon

It wasent scary. i new i was close to the feild. even if the M bus drained the battery i had the standby battery. and the engine has
Magnetos, so its independent of the eletrical system. and if i lost the Displays, i had back up instruments
I really wasent scared at all
