Pascal DucheminKCCR KTCY KCCRFlight following - fly close to mount Diablo
--------------
Weather was calm in the valley. I decided to head East to Tracy and check out their downtown by bike after landing there.
Ground was quite busy, it took me a few mn to get clearance to taxi to 19. When up in the air, I went up to 3500 feet and flew east of Mount Diablo. I could not get good comms with Norcal Approach until I passed most of Mount Diablo. I was handed ti 125.1 pretty much right away.
An Helicopter got in the pattern before me doing a touch and go. I realized that meant for him to land on the runway numbers and take off again. After an uneventful landing, I biked to downtown Tracy to check out their Saturday morning farmer's market. This was just a quick 20 mn bike ride.I got a flat tire (on my bike), the folks at skyview aviation were cool enough to let me use their air compressor to add some air.
I took back off runway 30 on a straight in departure and talked to Norcal up until arriving in CCR. My Garmin GPS was acting up. Basically the VFR chart would not show up/render. I realized this was due to an update they had released that required redownloading all the chart. Fortunately I had a chart on paper anyways.
