He is not saying he has not been taught. I would imagine his mind is in overdrive and a little worried that he does not balls his navex up.

I was the same on my first solo navex and I am pretty sure it is a common thing.

The one bonus is..once you are rolling down the runway your nervs get a grip and you slip straight in to what you have been taught.

At the end of the day, as long as you tell ATC who you are and where you are from and to, you wont go wrong. Ok it is not all the info they want but it is a start and they will ask you for the rest of the info. ATC will be able to tell if you are a newbie or a student and will not break your balls. they are there to keep the sky safe and help you.
