Ah yes, that first solo......
I remember being airborne and enjoying the rush of being alone when it dawned on me - I'm alone..... I have to land the plane.
Piece of cake, I thought and just after I'd turned from Crosswind onto the downwind leg, I was running through the procedure when my thoughts were rudely interrupted by a radio call
"Telgte Info, D-Mxxx Downwind, Runway 28 to land"
The thoughts which went through my mind were:
1) Downwind, that's where I am
2) Where the xxxx is he
3) ****, he's got priority as I spotted him
4) double ****, it's an ultralight so I'll have to drop the speed and extend my downwind in order to ensure I had adequate spacing.
Even so, I'm on final and the guy is pottering down the runway, making no attempts to vacate even though he's heard me call "final, number 2, number one in sight" and am wondering, at what point do I announce "D-Exxx, going around" when the guy in the Tower said "D-Mxxx, please expedite vacating the runway, student on first solo behind you coming to land....."
Congrats, just keep with it, one day you'll be doing your cross country exercises then suddenly you'll have your licence and joining the ranks of those who walk looking longingly to the skies......
