Flying from Scotland, to Wales down the Great Glen in the PA28, past Loch Ness, Ben Nevis, and the Isle of Man.

I didn’t give this short 10 minute flight enough respect, and consequently messed up.

I visit a luxury fly-in retreat in the Scottish Highlands, and see a real example of why it’s always essential to carry fuel in reserve.

A special VFR clearance allows you to transit a control zone when you cannot maintain Visual Flight Rules.
