Never had a problem on my First Solo, just remember the little C152 going like a rocket compared to when the instructor was with me!! However, The unexpected does happen during training, Qualifying X-Country? Well, that was fine on the first leg, but on the second leg I arrived at destination to discover the runway temporarily blocked/closed
.... so I diverted to a different aerodrome a bit further away. When I eventually got back to base there was some discussion as to whether or not the flight counted as I had not landed where I had planned to, but eventually the consensus was that it was actually better because I had flown further and had a real live diversion to boot!!

Here in France we are a little more civilised, at my aeroclub we insist that first solos are completed in the morning so that the student has no excuse for not buying champagne to be consumed by one and all before a celebratory lunch also with beaucoup de vin!!! Such events usually go on all afternoon....
