Listen to BEagle guys, these are wise words indeed. In fact, listen to your instructor and not your compatriots. We all get a little bit scared or worried now and then but wading into an excercise with the notion that it will 'scare the s#it out of you' will not help matters.

From the point of view of what is it like to do your first 'PPL' flight with pax, be honest with yourself, if in doubt ask!

20 something years ago I called for taxi (proud dad sat next to me) and was cleared to taxi via the Northern taxiway to hold at Bravo 27.........what the hell was this?....must be the one I always used.....I thought about it for a few seconds then decided to taxi the 'usual way' so that I don't look a right twit in front of my dad!
........about 30 seconds later I received a RIGHT ROYAL BLASTING from the tower for going the wrong way on the WRONG taxiway!.....well, my dad and everyone else heard this alright!.......and me? yes I really did feel stupid!........lesson learnt, if in doubt, ask.
