I can remember many moons ago when I did my long solo cross country another student doing his.
We both got to the first landing airfield. My next location was west his was East.
He got lost called ATC and then lost the plot. He ignored all the steers he was given, had a row with ATC basically telling them that they were wrong and he now knew where he was.
He busted Lutons airspace on his merry way before ATC convinced him he was wrong. He eventually landed at a small airfield was given trauma treatment and collected by the club CFI.
He had to go back for further training and never achieved his PPL.
Another know it all Biggles who left a trail of chaos
At least he never landed in a tree
