first solo in a c152 at wolverhampton, the instructor said can you do that again on your own? i said yes no probs he told me she would climb quicker with only one on board and left me to it, what i can remember most clearly is hearing my own breathing thru the headset while i was waiting to take off - it was so quiet! i also remember thinking as i put the power on that i was going to have to land the bugger now, luckily the landing was the best i had ever done,

The next day i woke up and was terrified at the thought of all the things that could have gone wrong and that i had no idea how to deal with, i very nearly stopped flying there and then, it took a fair while and a very patient instructor at a different club before i was happy to fly on my own,


Jizman - well done on ur first solo, just wait until your QXC its when i actually felt like a proper pilot for the first time
