First take off and landing!
So, I know its still very early in my whole learning curve, but I had to share this, and where better than on this forum. Today, 8 and a bit hours into learning, I did my first take off and landing.
Yes, I was with my instructor, yes, I was nervous as hell, yes, I was convinced I was going to plough into the ground, but no, nothing went wrong, and it was brilliant. My instructor was even quite complementary (and went on to reassure me it would get much worse before it got better, and most likely a fluke!).
It was a fluke, as the second landing was much more hesitant, and I think probably I had a bit more help, but....
I DID IT....I LANDED AN AIRCRAFT.
There you go. I can sit down and relax now. Just a few hundred more times, and I might actually get good at it!
Thanks all for listening. IPZ
