My first solo,
Base leg, everything great, Leonardo De Caprio 'I'm king of the world moment' and......
ATC: G-** there's an Embraer departing ahead of you, make long directional turn final RWY**
ME: .........................(eh?)................
ATC: (realises i havenee got a clue) G-** turn final RWY** expect late landing clearance.
ME: er.......(brain stalls), ....clear land RWY** G-**
ATC: (audibly wetting his pants wih laughter) G-** negative, continue approach, I WILL CLEAR YOU SHORTLY.
Anyway I brought the aircraft back in one piece!
Well done Dave, I'll never forget how it felt. Good luck with the est of the course!
