You know the pattern, the frequencies, the taxiways and where the sun will be. Flying to a different towered field forces you to do the work properly: plan a route, get the weather for a destination, listen to an unfamiliar ATIS, find a runway you have not seen before and put an airplane on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross-country flying is where a private pilot certificate stops being an exercise and starts being transport. 14 CFR 61.109 requires cross-country time for exactly that reason, and this trip is a demonstration of what that requirement is actually protecting against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the day looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanning and preflight at Van Nuys, a departure to the northwest, a leg over terrain that separates the basin from the Oxnard plain, an arrival and landing at Camarillo, and a stop on the ground.
