Beautiful morning and I arrived at the airfield 10.30 having now done 1.25 hrs solo.
I was thinking one day he is going to say "it's over by the fuel bowser so off you go."
Well that's exactly what happened,the CFI told me to take it up to between 3-4000 feet north of the field and practice some manouveres for 30 mins then some landings for next 30 mins.
Off I went on my own and it all went very well,some left and right hand turns through 360 and some dives and climbs all the time keeping good lookout but a bit difficult to see into sun on base leg .
Then this afternoon we did the steep turns ,spiral dives,a feel of near Vne handling and then some glide approach landings.
Tomorrow we are going to do some local navigation , I am really looking forward to that and I will also probably do some more solo stuff in the afternoon.
The weather is fantastic and all being well I should get 6 hours in this weekend.
