An amazing and interesting response, thank you!
Just for the record I did my first Solo Nav today, much more enjoyable without an instructor next to you, I also found myself constantly looking for fields to ditch into if I had to, something I have not found myself doing when I am not on my own.
I feel I'm getting there but as none of my friends and family know I am doing this I only get to brag to the misses…. who only cares if I come back, she is strangely uninterested on how a 152 cut me up on final, or that I had to fly slow and safe to keep separation on downwind….. Woman eh?
