Sounds right enough to me.
Interestingly, I was talking it over with my instructor afterwards, and each time he fed a new activity into the process, I think that I was so busy concentrating on that, that I forgot to worry about the previous one, and so did it ok....or at least it worked until the radio.
It's weird really, I am very used to using vhf from other activities I am involved in, but I think this was just a case of one thing too much....I am sure once it becomes habit I wont even realise I am doing it.
But can I just say.....taking off and landing.....what a blast.
Perhaps its just run of the mill for you old timers with hundreds....nay thousands of hours under your belt, but for me, I really wanted to just stop and stare and be completely wowed by the whole thing....right up to the point the instructor suggested I clear the landing strip.
Ah well, just another few hundred to go, right? :-)
