1. You never feel ready for solo, but it’s about getting the aircraft around safely.

2. Try and relax. Such an easy thing to say, but often quite useless advice!

3. Don’t feel the pressure of trying to go solo. Some students are so desperate to go solo, their flying seems to deteriorate just beforehand!

4. Don’t chance the weather. Your instructor shouldn’t anyway, but if there’s e.g. a 10 knot x-wind, it might be better to wait until it drops for your first solo, as it’s a lot about confidence.

5. Let us know how you get on!
