When I did my second solo cross country flight to land at Gloucester it was on a really lovely day with brilliant vis and bright sunshine. This was great, but did mean that the world and his wife seemed to be flying to Gloucester or routing over head.
When I finally managed to get a word in edgeways I elected to say that I was a student pilot and I have to say I was glad I did as the nice chap in the tower couldn't have been more helpful, even asking a couple of other calling aircraft to standby while he made sure I understood what I was supposed to be doing.
I think this pretty much halfed my workload and allowed me to make an uneventful landing......He even guided me around the taxi ways to the parking......I certainly wouldn't expect this treatment all the time, but when I was learning it boosted my confidence and really helped me enjoy the flying.
Thank you that man!
