There is no rush to go solo. Huge swaft of the paint brush here but I found those that went solo quickly had to spend longer at nav and those that took a bit of time to go solo took less time at the nav. I don't know if it was the additional practise at RT, being more used to being in the air or the old differnet side of the brain thing.
Very interesting mad_ jock
Took me ages to go solo (in fact If I remember rightly I had more than 12 hours in the circuit
) but then procceded easily through the nav and QXC then GST in very short order indeed.
I thought I was the only one to do it this way!
