I'd done about 40 minutes in the pattern and I was pretty tired, and on takeoff from about my 8th tng, my instructor said "Make this decent, and we'll be full stop and you can try a few yourself..." I shook all the way round the pattern, made a decent landing and my instructor hopped out, checked his handheld worked, and I set off ...
First landing was ok, 2nd and 3rd were nice. Awesome feeling.
Best advice: Don't panic and always fly the airplane !!!!
Course the solo nav to other fields was the real big deal ... ;-)
