I did my first solo two days ago and i had 17.6 hours of flying time. We were doing touch and go's when my instructor said"This is getting boring now you know how to do this, make a full stop landning and let me out of the plane." I felt really nervous when i requsted taxiinstructions and during taxiing. Then i had to wait quite a while at the holding point due to trafic. I think i checked the fuel selector, mixture and so on 10 times just to occupie myself while waiting.
When i finally got airborne it was just amazing and also a bit scary to know that if i f*ck up now i'm on my own.
