Chief Flying Instructor Fred Nolan complimented Lachlan of a well planned and conducted flight.
“10 miles out and on descent into Moree from the west, the final leg of his solo Navigation flight, Lachlan Moloney flew his demanding assignment today in 30-40 km southerly winds, landing at Coonamble and Lightning Ridge enroute.
A great achievement in difficult weather,” Mr Nolan said.
