Having sent his first two students solo today I can recommend the following advice. Wear sun screen. Apart from that:

1, look at the far far end of the runway from about 50ft down.

2, take a deep breath at 300ft.

3, try not to get all twitchy on the controls below 500ft - hold them steady and suddenly all that turbulence dissapears...

4, sing, whistle or hum ' I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles' all the way around your first solo circuit.

5, smile in the cockpit every 30 seconds.

Happy landings - WWW
