Cheq - very sorry to hear that news from you. I did see it on one of the news sites. Its things like that that put things into perspective at time.
TJF97 - Solo! Congratulations. Well done and welcome to the club. Interesting that you found fear at 3500', it has never happened to me - I'm more of the view that the higher I am the safer I am as I have more time to do something if something goes wrong.
My greater fear is in the take off (just always waiting for that EFATO) and in the circuit. However being on finals is always a nice feeling until the last 200ft where any error in judgement becomes obvious and it is time to make things right - quickly!
Don't worry - I'm sure you will get over it without any issue and will soon be passing through 3500' without a worry.
