That's better
Went again today.What a difference when your mind is right and the FI puts you at ease.
Did 4 pretty good landings in a gusting xwind and he would have sent me solo but he wanted more favourable wind.
I prepared much more mentally and physically.spent some time listening to the ATIS on a hand held rx.noting the taxy intructions being issued to other pilots on the towr freq ( just as well as more of the twy was being used to save backtracking-another 'new' thing to me)
My circuits were accurate in height and position-everything felt right.
I even handled an EFATO on the crosswind leg with confidence.
I plan get it sorted as well next time.
I am really looking forward to geting out of the circuit for the the next exercises.
Thanks for your words of support-good to know I am not the only guy on the planet who has the odd moment of self doubt.
